Bob, I’ve installed the motor with the correct motor mounts and installed the headers. The headers are don’t line up with the cut out for the side pipes and they are 1.5” too far froward. I wanted to confirm that the engine was in the correct position. I do have another set of motor mounts that will move the motor back 1/2-3/4”. The headers came with the car but not sure they are for another kit.
Jon

I'm guessing he means the driver side cylinder head
