As long as it's straight in the frame, as in parallel to the frame rails, it's correct. They did it for more steering box clearance, and more room in the drivers footwell area.

the motor should be offset evenly, not angled. Tell all your Brand X buddies that Ma Mopar did it to offset the driver's weight, making the car handle better!

He's saying the motor is not parallel to the frame rails.
Exactly. The front of the engine is more toward the passenger side...cooked...not parallel to the frame rails.

I once fitted the transmission mount back to front and it did the same thing. Make sure yours is fitted the right way and the transmission tailshaft is centred in the tunnel.
