Malcolm...... I would say that the front end (waterpump)of the motor has not been lowered. The engine crossmount has not been modified nor has the motormounts. The two rear donuts that mount the rear of the gearbox were replaced with ones that I dug up in a local parts store that are about 1/2 the thickness of the ones that come from GTD with the kit 3/4" thick instead of about 2". This causes the motor to sit in the car just about perfectly horzontial thus lowering the rear of the motor(flywheel) but not much lower overall. Lowering the rear of the gearbox does a lot of good things, straight driveshafts for one, and about 1 more inch clearance for the headers for another . Hope this helps.
