The engine normally sits closer to the driver side frame rail.

Hmmm, Sparky, When I bolted up my engine , I used a level on the oil pan. Is that OK or saying the same thing?

I don't think it's the same thing. The motor mount bracket that bolts to the front cover places the engine closer to the driver side frame rail.

I heard that.
In my case, I used a universal racing trans mount for a 350 chev. trans. that is nearly rigid so the engine is only going to sit where it wants. That mount feels tight on launches too.
P.S. Don't forget the ground straps as intended.
