Motor mounts/engine crooked?

[vesku383]

Hello from Finland!
Are these motor mounts right?
I have heard, that early b-motors are more off-centered than the later ones, but is it really supposed to be That crooked?
The oil pan (699) is practically in touch to k-member, but nevermind of that, new oil pan is coming later, that shoud fit better.

Offset and crooked, angled, are not the same. The motor should be offset to the pass side but straight in the bay.

Doesn't look like the left mounting bracket is mated to the biscuit correctly. Biscuit should be more centered on the bracket.

 

[moparmarks]

Maybe the biscuit is upside down?

The engine is offset to the passenger side about 1.5 inches; the engine itself sits at a slight
rearward angle of about 2 degrees by design.
However, it sits straight in the engine bay front to back, parallel to the centerline of the car
itself.

How about these pictures?

This engine was in the car before, but the engine brackets were homemade, welded and full of holes. Now i think i have the correct ones, isolators and big block brackets.

Not sure what you're asking?

Not sure what you're asking?

The engines in these pictures, poly and the big block, they are not parallel to the centerline of the car?

 

[Fran Blacker]

Engines in mopars are offset to passengers side several inches for steering box clearance.

The engines in these pictures, poly and the big block, they are not parallel to the centerline of the car?

Then they have an issue.

 

[vesku383]

Can you someone who has big block in 62-65 take a picture of the motor mounts? i know that 62 is somehow different. Pictures would help.

In the 62-65 big block cars the engine IS in the engine bay at an angle. Never really checked out poly 318 cars that close.

My mounts are just like that, in a 62-65 thread "she looks crooked to me" . I think it the engine sits right, and ancled..

Your engine is sitting correctly, you should be fine. The radiator is also at an angle to match how the engine sits. One side of the radiator brackets is deeper than the other so the radiator sits parallel to the angled engine.

A 65 big block sits crooked in the engine bay not parallel to the centerline of the vehicle.
Really noticeable when you pull the radiator.
When you install the radiator and the cover piece on top it's not as noticeable.

@vesku383
If you have the wrong rubber isolators on the wrong side it might make it more offset than what it supposed to be.

Left side...

Right side...

There is a right and left isolator. Left side is part #2228. Right side is part #2227.

These pics are of my 440 that I installed in my 1962 Dodge using the brackets off of the original 361.
