[Tigers] Motor Mount Question

[CoolVT at aol.com]

I think, as Ron says, swapping them moves the engine very slightly back and 
 forth....maybe 1/4".  But the quality of the mounts is so suspect that you 
 could get some versions that move the engine up or down.

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  
http://www.moderndriveline.com/Technical_Bits/front-shift-T5-tailhousing.htm   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.
