[Tigers] Motor Mount Question

                The motor mounts should both be about the same thickness but
I believe the locating bolt is slightly offset so forward or back should be
what swapping the motor mounts does.

>From past discussion I see the correct Ford Motor Mount PN are  C3AZ-6038-G
for RH and C3AZ-6038-H for LH.  And that people frequently swap them left
and right to move the motor back or is it down?

 

Has anyone used Prothane 6-503 ford mounts?  It didn't look like to me there
was a right/left.  Wondering how these fit compared to stock.  Look a bit
bigger and wondering if I'll run into header or steering interference.

 

I ask because I'm starting mock up work and am selecting motor mounts for as
build to fit a T5.  I've ordered a T5 2.95 first with a modern drive line's
S10 like tail housing

The front shift rear mount shifter is reported to be 13.25 back from the
front of the case and a TopLoader shifter is about 14.5 from the front of
the case.  I think this will be minimal transmission tunnel modification,
I'll have to make a more centered hole.  They also offer a no cut bolt in
TKO600 5spd kit for the tiger, looks pretty slick.  I chose the T5 for a bit
of cost saving and a bit lighter.
