I ordered Schumacher motor mounts, installed them on the plastic block, slotted the mounts welded to the K member. However something is messed up.......block sits crooked? Any advice?

Do Not use the Schumacher Hemi to wedge conversion mount. They raise all kinds of hell with header clearance. Been there done that, Remember that one A-56? Infact Marks headers will not fit using that mount system.They are good to locate the engine placement, like Mark said the engine is skewed to the passenger side.There is a guy in Wisconson who makes the 64/65 Hemi K-members I was able to talk him into selling just the mounting brackets so I could weld up my K-member

So is there anything wrong with putting the engine in square? Once I get the headers up here I will bolt them to the mock up block and make the engine fit straight.....crank center-line in the center, lower maybe....valve covers should come on and off with out any clearance issues?
Legendary Interior just showed up today.......looks fantastic! Crimson red 330 Super-stock pattern. New door seals, and black headliner......oh ya!

I would not lower or relocate the engine. Why reinvent the wheel? Too much would be effected, not to mention illegal for stock eliminator. Think of how the engine off set works with a driver on the left side regarding balance.

Hemi project update.....stainless headers from Performance Welding were delivered by my good friend Rick Paton {thank goodness for friends that share the passion of cars and racing!} Mark from Performance Welding is a artist, these headers a beautiful! I couldn't help myself I took them out of the box and installed them on my mook up block in the car. Only took about 20 minutes. All I need now is a empty BBM 727 and I can bolt it all together to fabricate some motor mounts. Still waiting for a spot to open up at the chassis shop to install the cage......soon I hope.

What does everyone use on the 727 trans for a polyurethane mount? It looks like the mount that came with my car has been modified to be solid. Now I know from the past experiences that solid = cracked trans case. I cant seem to find any photo's of how they originally were. So any wisdom will help.
