98hd, Sorry for the pain bro&#33; I should have told you to measure the tabs first before pulling them. Sometimes it&#39;s hard to judge by a picture but we gotta try. If you haven&#39;t installed the mounts you might want to try taking them to an auto parts store and comparing them to the factory mounts. There&#39;s just something that doesn&#39;t look right with the poly mounts and I can&#39;t pinpoint it.

Here&#39;s some more pics, hope they help. Now we can compare a little better.



That&#39;s it&#33; The difference I see is that your tabs are slanted sideways and mine are sitting vertical. That will push your tab centers more towards the middle of the crossmember 1/8" to 1/4" on each side. Does it look that way to anyone else? If you looka at your first picture under mine you can see the tab isn&#39;t sitting parallel with the motor mount casing.

Actually the tabs look like they are in the same orientation to me. Mine may be tilted a little more towards horozontal than yours, but it&#39;s hard to tell. I&#39;m gonna try and play some more with it tomorrow.

Good luck, I hope you get it figured out.

Good eye... That&#39;s it. Even the mounts I used have tabs that are straight vertical (if you sit those mounts on a flat surface). When I first started test fitting, I bent the heck outta the outer tabs to see how the block would fall in. Of course, I did the lazy thing of hoisting the entire powertrain in at once.

Those red mounts ARE different.
