I think you're looking for motor mounts. If so, NAPA has them...use part number 602-1020. They're about $4 apiece.

I agree that the only thing that might make that clearance too shallow are the actual motor mounts. If you're using a dual action AC pump, there is not  a lot of clearance on the Henry J six. The cars were originally equipped with Carter pumps and they are not as tall and fit nicely. I had an AC on my '52 J for a few years. It worked fine for fuel but, just as all AC pumps do, it would sling a bit of oil out the breather holes. As soon as I found a Carter, I replaced it.

Thanks, I replaced pump in July after post on the forum.You guys were very helpful then.I have the orginal Carter Dual-Action,which I had rebuild buy THEN AND NOW.The fittings are very close to the cross member  now,also the rubber bushings on the motor mounts in front of the engine look very much compresed. Thanks again: I will try NAPA
