Robin272 (2/27/2019)
I have compared them side too side on the bench. Aligning the holes (Block side) with each other and mounts facing same direction you can se that the bolts on the frame side are offset. I will take a picture and post later! Many years ago when i first rebuilded the engine, i also bought a new set engine mounts. This is where i get the not aligning with transmission part from. Back then i just put the old mounts back on and the problem where kinda solved. I am pretty Shure they where facing the right way. I just bought a new set, and was hoping the "new" ones i bougt many years ago was just a bad manufacter batch. Yes the Bolts are Offset. The Holes for the Block are not aligned with the Studs that go into Frame.I think You may have them on Backwards. The open side of the mount faces back of the Car. I just put my 292 back in the Car on Sunday and I checked to make sure they were facing correct way.

someone put the wrong mounts on long ago you can change things and use the v8 mounts or leave things alone and get a set for 223.brings back memories back in feb 68 i took a 6 from a 58 and put itin a 59 that had a v8.the 59 has only one stud so had to use the 59 mounts. motor set ahead had to shim the rad out driveshaft was short second was straight in the air.what a mess.great times but it would have been nice to know a little more.

What about the transmission. From what i remember it was impossible to make the transmission align when i used the V8 mount beacause of the offset.

Interesting. Does the Vehicle Ser # indicate it was a V-8 or 6 when built?
