From what I can tell, one of the motor mounts is closer to the front of the motor than the opposite side. Is there an easy way to make it work or would I have to change the mounts on my truck to make it work? Thanks a lot, Gene Gene 1959 Apache

I would probably end up spending more than $50.00 by the time I fabricated my own. Thanks again, Gene Gene 1959 Apache
