The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Engine sits too high for hand crank engagement

We had that on the '28 Roadster. The problem was a set of 1970's mfg. front motor mount springs that were a poor reproduction.

We replaced them with a different set that had the proper tension and coil spring wire diameter, etc. and that did the trick.

Good luck. I'd start there.
