Engine shifted? Need mounts?
Just wondering if I might need engine mounts or something... they look fine and don't seem loose but a couple things look out of place here.
Does anyone else's truck look like that?
Truck is the top one in my sig with 351 engine.
Here you can see the oil filter not lined up with it's access hole...
And also check out how close that exhaust manifold is to the frame. It ain't touching the frame, but it's close.

If you could post a pic of the actual mounts we could give you a better idea if they are shot or not.
Its also possible that at one time the engine had been removed from the truck, and when they put it back in they didnt level it side to side. Ive seen that before, makes one side hug the frame rail more than it should. From underneith take a look at the stud's position in its hole. It should be roughly the same side to side. If its not, the engine is not level

Alright, I can take some pics of the mounts but I was mainly just wondering if anyone else's 351 truck has the manifold that close to the frame.
I'll check and see if the engine is leveled after work today.
