    The way you have it now(picture) is the way it will go on the driver side of the maverick. Use the long bolts and bolt it up.

    I'm 90% that the shorter end goes toward the front of the car.
    The gauge would be your transmission would not mount if you had it
    backwards.

    How far away from the fire wall dose the motor sit? My fan is about 2 inches from the radiator.
