G'day,

I've compared the photographs of the 1968 - 1972 Caddy Eldorado single
rubber front mount:

to the 1973 - 1976 Cadillac Eldorado dual rubber front mounts and the Dale
Fromm designed bracket:

it appears that the front of the engine would be lower!

Is this an optical contusion or am I correct?

If I'm correct the engine would sit lower which would require a lower hatch
cover and I think that would be a good thing.

I don't know (obviously) if it would it change the alignment of the inner
and outer CV joints or create any other problems.

Regards,
