Default Is the mount on a F-body T56 offset?

This may or may not be a simple question but like in the title, Is the transmission mount on a F-body LS1 T-56 offset to one side or the other? It does not appear to be. I am setting my Chevelle up and am playing with the pinion angle and crossmember/header combo. Thanks

Is there a way I can measure from the centerline?

The crossmember mount is offset, but that's in relation to the frame mounts, which may be offset themselves. My xmem has 9.5" from frame bolt to trans mount bolt on the LHS, and 7.5" on the RHS..

I can't imagine it being that much of an offset needed, or any at all like you mention. But OTOH, since the Fbody's had the Torque-Arm running along the LHS, it may have required the offset for clearance...

I forgot about the torque arm, that must be the difference. I need to cut my mount back off of the crossmember and move it so the center line of the output shaft is in the center of the frame.
