When setting engine mounts, they should be level relative to the ground correct?
My chassis sits not exactly level, engine mounts should match?
I tried to eliminate all variables, filled all tires to same psi, suspension same height..

One is currently bolted to the frame, setting the other one in relation to that..

I’d level things to the body/frame. Anything else would drive me insane. Frame level to ground. If it leans on the suspension a bit so be it.

yeah, but I'm sure GM would have assigned 4 people and one supervisor to check the bush mechanics works...  and then issued a recall..


Figured if I got everything secured and in place, I could ask a much more proficient welder to burn it in... ::)

Nobody will know if the engine isn’t level as long as the hood is closed haha.
