K Member/Motor mount problem LS SN95
Here is the issue I'm having. I have a 95 Mustang GT with a 5.3 LS, UPR motor mount adapters, Ford 4.6 motor mounts, F body oil pan, and 1996 factory K member. The threaded studs on the mount fit in both sides of the k member but on the driver side the nipple on the motor mount is a good half inch from the slotted hole. The passenger side is maxed out so can't tilt the side to side angle of the engine anymore. Also did anyone have to notch the factory k member to allow clearance for the oil pan on passenger side? When I did research on the swap I never came across anyone having to notch it. Any help is appreciated. I wish I could post pictures but the shop is an hour away and I forgot to when I was up there.

Do you have the studs in the slotted holes and the nipple won't fit in the rear mounted holes? Are your mounts installed like this?
You have also added the thickness of the adapter plate which moves the mount out(wider). This moves the mounting hole higher on the k member. If all is correct the nipples are not needed, remove and level your engine back out. then check your clearances. If you were to buy solid mounts, they usually don't have the nipple anyway.

Thanks for all the help everyone.
