Default BRP mounts for 71 Chevelle

I made some mounts based on the blueprints (posted in Conversion FAQ sticky) But I am unsure which way the plates go.

I can mount them so that the motor mount is further forward on the engine (pushing the engine back as far as possible), or flip them over and place the motor mount as far back on the engine as possible (pushing the engine as far forward as possible).

Which way are they designed to fit in my 71 Chevelle?

Put the mounts on so it places the engine as far back as possible... The Passenger side head should be 3/4 inch or some from the firewall.
