390 Motor mount question
I have a '72 F250 2wd w/390.
The engine block is on the stand and I wanted to bolt the engine mounts onto it. they are labeled left & right so that's easy enough, but the bolt that goes through the mount on the frame is offset in one direction.
Is this bolt offset towards the rear or the front of the motor, and is it the same for both the left & right side?
Thanks
Brad

Ford 390 motor mount
I have the same question: I have a '72 Ford F100 and i am installing engine tomorrow. Someone said offset to the front. What is "offset"? Offset is greater distance from center bolt to edge of mount? Does the metal shield go toward the front?
