    360 Engine position in frame

    I have my 360 & tranny in on my frame up on the 8 & something doesn't look right & b-4 I move to my springs & bolt the new ones on I just wanted to double check the position.

    I have the frame mounts inthe front holes on the frame is this correct or do I need to move it back.

    Thanks,

    I just went and looked at mine, They are in the futhest foward group of holes as well, I have to say, I did not like the way the motor sat in the factory mounts, especialy after seeing the way my dads is positoned in the MORE mounts.

    His is much more centered, and appears to sit nicer in the frame than mine

    Must be an optical illusion. I have the MORE mounts in my Jeep, and they were direct replacements for stock. They didn't reposition the motor at all. In a CJ, the motor is offset to the left (drivers side) by 2-3" for front driveshaft clearance.
