I just dropped my motor and tranny into the car a couple days ago getting ready to rebuild it. its just a long block at the moment. Now I tried to find this on the forum but the motor seems to sit a little sideways in the engine bay. I have the drive train all bolted up and tightened as well as the engine mounts. I do now have two steel motor mount arms. I am curious if this is normal. If looking at the engine bay from the front it looks like the front of the motors aims more to right right.

Took a quick one with my phone. Not the greatest quality but hopefully shows what I'm talking about

I see you have Himni Racing motor mounts. What are you using? 1 steel + 1 aluminum Arm (stock config) or 2 steel Arms? make sure you have the right pair of mounts for your configuration, as Himni has two different street kits. Looking at your photo it almost looks like your frame/sub frame is warped.

They are both steel engine arms as stated above and yes they are the correct mounts for the two steel arms. The cross frame does not look warped or anything in person. I may just lossen then up and try to pull the motor over then tighten the mounts back down. It's just odd how it sits off to the side

Its normal. Mazda slides the engine over to the driver side to give more room for all the crap on the other side.
