Hello forum members. Putting together a 67 or 68 390 and came to the task of putting on the motor mounts. If it would have had the old mounts on it I wouldn't be asking this stupid question, but I have a new set of mounts with 2 mounting holes in each. Question, which way does the mount go? There are two ways for it to mount, with the body of the mount facing forward from the holes or does the mount face to the rear of the engine when mounted up? Hope this is clear enough. Thanks, Bud

You probably want to mention what vehicle and model year this is for, since there are all sorts of different mounts used.

Exactly, 64 and older mounts used 2 bolts per mount, later could be 2 or 3 bolt mounts, or multi piece mounts, depending on application.

This is going in my 631/2 fastback Galaxie 500XL 4speed.

Looking from the top so that the mount has a u shaped cross section the closed end of the U should face the front of the car.
