New engine install

[laen461]

Seems like I have done something wrong. I am installing a 351 in my 77 Bronco. Ordered new motor mounts. When I went to install the motor it doesn't seem to set square in the frame, is this normal?

Which way isn't it square?

The motor, as well as the rest of the drivetrain, is offset to the passenger's side. It may look like it's not square because of that. Measure from the center of the crank pulley/harmonic balancer to the passenger side frame, then measure from the center of the transfer case output shaft to the same passenger side frame. Should be the same.

It can seem like it. I've found it a lot easier to leave the mounts off altogether until the motor is in place.
