Default RE: My Big Thread of Questions for My V8 Conversion...

the motor mounts on the front K member form an angle like a V but with a wider angle. when you install the motor mounts on the engine, they also form a V which matches the angle of the motor mounts on the K member so the engine will fit right into the mounts and be at the proper angle as far as left to right goes. just don't tighten down the nut on the large stud that sticks into the K member until you have both sides fully seated in the mounts so that the engine sits level side to side. you might have to jack the engine up and wiggle it around a bit to get it to sit down in the mounts squarely and then you can tighten up the large nuts. the tranny mount at the rear of the tranny will then determine the front to back angle of the engine in the chassis.
