    I have read through the threads and looked at the technical diagrams but still slightly unclear of the orientation of V8 frame to engine mounts. I have included pictures here -- could someone with a V8 confirm that I have them mounted correctly -- ear to the rear and tab is down. Just about to drop the new 331 in but want to make sure all is oriented correctly first!

    THANKS

    Looks to be on correct, offset is towards the rear. Great paint job on engine compartment!

    I don't know if that will help, it's kinda hard to see.
