    so im trying to fix some little stuff with my car. i got v8 frame mounts in and a new v8 tranny member. the tranny member the holes are off to the right along with my tranny is this normal(i have a 71 grabber with a 351w/c4)??? Also the tranny is about 1 inch to forward and the holes don't line up...... its not a big deal but i would like it to go together normal like stock. i don't know if its the frame mounts, engine mounts or if im crazy.

    sounds like the frame mounts are backwards.
    I believe they are marked?????

    yea had to switch the frame mounts cuz they were backwards :banghead:. the over hang goes towards the rear, at least in the pics thats what ive seen. the tranny member can only go on one way cuz the plate is off the the right and not in the middle. ill take some pics when i get a chance, this is just annoying me

    also do the frame mounts fit all years?? i also have lake wood muscle car motor mounts could that be it???
