BC Coyote Motor Mounts with Tom's (PBH) accessory drive system with AC?

[Colo77Bronco]

Has anyone tried this combo? I want to use BC's mounts because the engine sits a little lower but I want to use the PBH drive kit. Looking for confirmation it will work before I order.

Tom’s off-road has a picture of their front drive mounted on a coyote in a bronco frame. Not sure what mounts they used but I would guess Tom‘s heavy duty. From the looks of it the AC clutch is very close to the crossmember. So I would wager dropping the engine any lower will create a problem. Nothing that couldn’t be notched out of the way for clearance.

They say that even with their mounts that front crossmember needs to be notched which is why the picture is a little confusing. I am planning on notching. I was having trouble with the picture judging the width. I'd like to avoid notching the actual free rail and just ditch the crossmember.

KMF Built was actually very helpful. They have dimensions of height of everyone's motor mounts that they obtained when making their headers.

This is an older thread but wanted to post in case it helps someone. I ordered the BC mounts since they looked lower profile. I also ordered the PBH front drive kit as I liked the look better than the BC front drive kit. I can tell you the combination does not work without notching the cross member and cutting down the triangular brace where the AC compressor is. An alternative to notching the cross member ( still requiring to cut down the brace) is to add a 3/8" - 1/2" shim block under the engine mounts to raise the engine slightly.

Hey ZZ. Thanks for the updated info!
Bound to help someone in the planning process. And get through one they’ve already started.
