PRE-INSTALLATION NOTES:
The QA1 F100 front suspension systems move the engine towards the center of the engine bay. The stock engine location is to the passenger side of the truck for clearance around the stock steering box. The engine placement for all engines in this QA1 suspension have been shifted to the driver’s side (left) to help with header clearance on the passenger side of the trucks. The transmission tunnel and recess on the firewall are also biased from the factory.
- The engine mounts use a total for both Left & Right mounts: (6) 3/8”-16 X 1” bolts, (12) 3/8” SAE Washers, and (6) 3/8”-16 Nylock nuts. This hardware comes in hardware kit 7039-225.
- The LS mount kit will come with 12mm bolts and nuts to attach to the customer supplied 98-02 Camaro LS1 engine mounts.
- Mod/Coyote will use 96-04 Mustang 4.6L left & right engine mounts and will require an oil filter relocation kit. Some aftermarket accessory drives will move the alternator and create clearance issues. These mounts were designed with the Ford crate alternator bracket.
- FE and Winsor use the Factory F100 engine mounts.
- 429/460 engines will need a rear sump oil pan.
