My guess is the motor mounts aren't symmetrical, and they were reversed or flipped when you put the new engine in - thereby moving the engine rearward the 3/4-1" you're seeing. |
I think that the prior post may be right. The motor mounts on my 289 are asymmetrical. Take a look at them and switch them from side to side.
