Just installed my new shortblock, its sitting crooked...help please.



I dunno if this is normal or not, considering there is not transmission to hold it in place. but the motor is sitting crooked in the engine bay. It kind of is shifted to the right of the car, and wants to rock back towards the firewall. (probably cuz of no tranny) I'm 99% sure i have the mounts in correctly, is this how its supposed to sit with not transmission?

Thanks guys

Looks good. Did you just spraypaint the engine bay with the wiring still installed ?

Ahh the Series IV multiple water fill necks. Can you just blockoff/cap that thing and use it for a temperature sender mount ?

If the motor mounts are new, the tranny & tranny mount should straighten out how the engine sits.
