Does anyone have pic's of their engine from the front of the car?

Like if you were going to take a picture of the front end, but with the hood up?

I think I crushed the passenger side motor mount...

Motor mounts don't "crush." Why do you think your mounts are shot?

Well, im not familiar with the mount design om my stang, but on my ranger they were hydraulic mounts, filled with fluid. when the bag "popped" the mount crushed upon itself, so they do crush.... but thats my experience.....

But to answer your question, the entire engine is leaning to the passenger side, and the header looks damn close to the inner fenderwell. As far as what i feel if i slip the clutch slowly below 1k rpm i get a shake in the drive line (more than what i would think to be normal), as far as hard driving there is no excessive play in the shifter upon upshifting or downshifting. But i wish i could see the motors aditude when grabbing the next gear.

anybody?

Im swapping engines in my wifes 96' V6 and the mounts are solid rubber with metal mounting plates on both sides.

The engine sat perfect and the mounts showed no problems I have seen rubber mounts go bad over time because of excess engine torque pressing that side down, usually the pass side. That could cause them to crack and flatten out, but not too extreem.

oh yeah, engine mounts on my Mach1 engine were the same too.

The design sounds similar to 95-96 f-150's.

Thanks NeoTokyo for the insight!

Anyone have pics of the mount or of the motor as listed above!
