Are my engine mounts on the right way around?? Difficulty lining up engine/tranny.

Guys,

I'm installing my new ZZ4 crate engine at the moment and am finding it difficult to line up the engine and box, the locating dowels seem to be 5-10mm out.

Are my engine mounts installed in the correct orientation? It's been a while since I took the L98 out the car and I can't remember which way the engine mount tabs are supposed to go.

Can you guys take a look at the pictures and give me some advise?

Many thanks,

Gordon

Flip your bushings. The metal coming out of the bushings are backwards.

I've found a lot of help here. The least I can do is return the favor to the boards.
Besides, we need to stick together. There are a lot of Rustangs out there to kill.
