removed the block from a 325 track day car.. its going into mine basically when i removed it i noticed there were 3 washers on either mount?

the car had a e36 rack with standard e30 coupling so im thinking po has raised engine for clearance..

when removing exhaust system etc i didnt notice any issues with height or distorted joins it looked fairly normal,

there seems to be enough thread on the top bolt, so am i likely to run into any other issues, it worked fine in the other one but underbonnet foam wasnt there anymore so coudnt say if it was touching?...

I'm fairly certain I had to put a couple of washers under my engine mount to get clearance on my e36 rack. Ran my car for a year without issues like it
