Engine Mount Direction?

[Ourobos]

Note also.. With the k-member offset as in your PDF, then the offset of the mounts will not matter. I see your point, my experience is with the k-member NOT offset.

The motor mounts your using in your pics are not symmetrical. The stock Bronco mounts that the OP is talking about are. The Bronco engine mounts are offset, but they are symmetrical.

I see the point if the body mounting location is offset, but these mounts the OP is talking about are NOT symmetrical. Their offset is directly proportional to the block offset, if that's what you mean. You actually DON'T want the mount's bolt centered with offset frame mounting locations.

I say these mounts are symmetrical. If you take the one on the left, and rotate it 180*.
They would be identical. Explain it another way?

You're right. Those are different than the mounts I have.. Mine are NOT symmetrical, those would have the bolt orientated the same either way. Good catch. Mine are clearly LEFT and RIGHT, and marked that way. So all bronco mounts are symmetrical, or was there ever a LEFT and RIGHT?

The mounts are the same, not symmetrical. The only way to eff them up would be to point the stud in and not out. See this pic. No matter how you rotate it, it will be the same. This is the brain fart I had originally. I thought they were symmetrical and I could get a half inch swing.

Symmetrical would be they look the same mirrored. Not the case here. They are the same.

Symmetrical would be they look the same mirrored. Not the case here. They are the same.

Ok, that clears it up. I was using wrong terminology. The stock Bronco engine mounts are the same, for left and right.

It would REALLY help if you were actually using bronco motor mounts. Why don't you try starting with that first.
