Engine mounting issues - help
I installed my 340 into my 71 Demon the other day using the factory K-member, '70 e-body 318 engine brackets and new replacement motor mounts. When facing the engine bay from the front of the car the engine is very crooked. At first I noticed the mount on the driver's side seemed to sit wrong on the bracket and I figured the dimple to line up the mount on the bracket was poorly placed so I took a grinder to it and shaved half of it off and the mount squared up better on the bracket. I sat the engine down again and well there's a minimal improvement but still not right. I compared the mounts to two other new ones and they are all made the same. I must have another problem. Anyone run into a similar situation? I'm posting pics hopefully somebody picks up on what I got wrong. Thanks.
