[SuperSnake428]

So I am trying to install a 427 into a recently purchased Contemporary Cobra, but have run into a few roadblocks. The car originally had a 351 in it (which is long gone) and sat in a shop for 13 years without any attention. I purchased the motor mounts specified in the manual for the FE (Anchor Doan 2222 and 2223). However, when I put the engine in the car with the motor mounts, I am a good inch or more away from the mounting holes in the frame! I have tried the motor mounts in every direction imaginable without much success and flipped sides as the manual suggests (they look identical to me though).

Can someone with a contemporary and a 427 post a few pictures of the motor mounts and maybe a few measurements? Measurements that would be helpful are the distance from the x-brace to the motor mount riser and the distance from the hole in the motor mount to the riser.

Thanks in advance!
