I have a 72 Challenger that I am dropping a "B" block in.
I got the car without a motor so I can't refer to that.
It was a small block car so it has the V8 K member.
I bought the mounts and mounting brackets.
Do the brackets bolt behind the ears or in front on the motor?
I did a search and found where a B body they are mounted behind.
I just want to verify for the E body.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I think you'll find they only go one way. One of the block ears is thicker so if you try to put the mount on incorrectly you'd notice you'd need a big spacer for the other ear.

bracket with tube in middle goes on drivers side,behind ears. long bolt goes in the tube.
bracket that is open goes on passenger side on rear of ears.
its so simple even a caveman can do it!

Thanks everyone!
Just wanted to make sure.
Stanton, you're right, one is thicker so the bracket could not go on in front of the ear.

If you have the correct brackets they only go on one way
