Hi guys, Am installing engine back in the 73 RR and not sure if I have motor mounts in wrong sides or if it might be the k member is not exactly square with the car. when installing trans. tail piece is off of center by about 3 in. put a ratchet strap on it and was able to get it to it's correct position but it's not right. Am ordering new motor mounts and going to install them today. But thought I would ask the question do the 4 bolts that hold the k member to the frame, are they on a slot where the k member can turn to square up to car. Car has not been aligned yet but measurement from rear of tire on driver's side is approx. an inch closer to the back of the fender than the passenger side is. Thanks again and appreciate your input as I'm putting it back together. This site has educated me and am grateful for it. Thanks Engine is 440-4 speed
 
K-frame should not move as the nuts for the bolts are welded in place on the inside of the subframe. Make sure your spacers on the Kframe are fitting into the cutouts, oval holes in the k-frame, and not loose, they should fit tight with very little play.
