engine angle (side to side) - 07/16/22 04:30 PM
How critical is it that an engine sit perfectly level? Doing a hellcat swap into my 70 challenger but I had to weld new mounts into the RMS K member since the k member originally had LA mounts. RMS supplied me the mounts, but because of this I was pretty limited in how to set the motor in without really cutting the mounts up or redoing them.
When I sat the mounts in, in order to have a weldable gap the engine had to sit at a very slight angle sloping down towards the passenger side. It's square to the K member, not cocked and a degree or two down in the back as it should be but just rotated a slight bit (maybe a few degrees, enough to notice if you stare at it but you have to look hard, or use a level).
I could probably level it up, but I think it's going to involve re-making the mounts with some more meat on one side to bring it up. Should I, or just send it?
