Engine mounted crooked

[enbay1]

Hey all,

I've got this concern. I bought this clapped out '85 720 and am throwing a new engine in it. I wanted to buy new engine mounts what for reducin' the bad vibrations, and it just feels right. I was looking for replacements online and can only find one of the two that I have. This is important because I'm wondering if the cook who had this car before I did did something weird with the mounts and replaced one to make the engine crooked.

Here's the crookedness:

and here's the engine mounts I pulled out (and the transmission mount, ignore that):

Is that large, greasy mount stock? Where can I find a new one? Should the engine be cock-eyed? If not, how do I fix that?
Thank y'all for your time.

Ain't crooked, the picture is just upside down.

 

Otherwise it looks ok to me. What engine you going to put in? KA or another Z24?

 

 

Uh... what engine do you think is in there right now????

if you right-click and "view image" it's right side up.

Here's another picture, right side up:

It's getting another z24.

If leaning about 6-8 degrees to the left side of vertical that's about right. Perhaps the new engine will have the engine brackets on it.

You say get new mounts to reduce vibrations... obviously this engine wasn't running, so how do you know it was vibrating? As long as the rubber isn't shrunk and cracked or straight up broken, clean them and use them.

 

If you do get new rubber mounts, be aware that most aftermarket mounts are a good bit taller than factory. I don't know how much clearance a Z24 has in a 720, but it's something to note. Or buy factory mounts (if they're available) and not worry about it.

I'd love to buy factory mounts, or copies of them. But I cant find the large one.  The old ones will probably work, but they're a bit cracked.

And King, it may be more like 10-12 at this point. I'm glad it's meant to tilt a bit.

Both rubber mounts are the same for each side. The metal mounts that bolt to the block are different on each side.

looks legit to me

Always fun to start a basket case project like that!!!
