Transfer case lift? Your ideas.

Hey guys I got my 7mge swap done in my toyota pickup. Im having a issue with the intake hitting the break booster. I did dent the booster about a 1/4 inch but dident want to beat it up to much. What do you guys think about building a spacer to lift the transfer case a inch or two so it will push the engine forward just a little bit to make the intake clear the booster? See when using the 5mge motor mounts ( engine side) it puts everthing at a 10 degree angle. Is there any affects of lifting the transfer case enought to gain some clearence?

Why not a drive train lift. Your sig says 2" body lift. 4crawler sales the motor mount blocks. Could even go flat belly.

I lifted the transfer case with a 1 1/4 thick block in between the mount and the crossmember! Worked like a charm.

Block of steel. It isent much drive lines dont bind at all. With the 5mge motor mounts it puts the drive train at a negitive angle of 10* so a little bit of lift on the transfer case is ideal when you got a 7mge engine swap!
