engine install gone wrong

netzaffe · 01-14-2005, 10:51 PM

Hey guys, i just installed my 289 engine back in my mustang with a new t5 tranny. I replaced the engine mounts during the install and im worried i dont have the engine in right, one of the mounts slit right in half, i think its because the tranny cross member was not in yet and it sagged a bit. Then im worried that i dont have the engine alligned properly, im having to make a plate just to mount the transmission to the crossmember. I need some measurments guys, let me know angles etc.

thanks

I think you can just buy the correct cross member for that installation. Not sure, but I believe Mustang Plus in Stockton Ca. carries that part. Stock motor mounts for the 289 should line you up correctly.
