Can you measure from the Motor mount bolt to the bottom of the kmember for me? That should be a straight measurement.

I will try to sneak home and do that in the next hour or so.

I have the stock truck accessories on it right now for the mock up. The alternator hits the hood too. the hood will shut with the alternator (NO Intake) but it does rub the hood

I think your mounts are on the opposite way of mine. My mounts on both my fairmont's have the angled side towards the front and the straight side to tha back . I'm referring to the flat piece that is bolted to the motor.
I also got a chance to measure from the center of the bolt to the bottom of the kmember is 8.5 inches.that will determine if the kmembers are the same.

Yep, mine is 8.5" too. I'll try flipping the mounts around.

Tried mine with mounts flipped and not even close to lining up with k member. Can you take a pic or two of yours?

Here's a pic of mine the way the hood won't shut. This is the exact way they are on my Mustang which is how AJE told me they were designed to go. The Slots where the bolts go thru are side to side in this photo.



With them flipped towards the front (with the long angled side on bottom) the holes are going up/down. This pic is with driver side bolted up, you can see how far passenger side is from lining up.

The only thing different from mine and yours is that the mount that you have on the drivers side is on my passenger side the angled end is pointing forward on both of my fairmont's . But I wouldn't think it would matter . I'll post some pics up tonight if I'm able my computer at home is acting up.

Well guys haven't posted on my build thread in awhile. I've been just driving it doing burn outs . I decided to go to the track and broke the 6.0 unfortunately . I put a spare 4.8 I had laying around . The only thing I'm not sure about is the tune do y'all think I'm going to have to change much on the microsquirt going from a 6.0 to 4.8.
