Engine mount holes.

[Kenny123]

So question... why does the engine mount have so many holes? Also with a 2008 TC SS which holes do I use. I used the front 3 holes on the passenger side but just noticed the engine isn't straight. Can't find any info on correct mounting location.

The forward holes are for an automatic. Use the rear holes - line up the rear most hole and the other 2 will align.

Lol I saw this post and thought my reply was deleted.... @Kenny123 it looks like you double-posted.

It's to fit different models, check out my build log. Mine is an 09 SS/TC. Should be the same I'd suspect.

In the grand scheme of things, the engine could be angled alittle, and as long as the spindles are square, the axles will even everything out right?

It'd put more stress on the axle joints, no? We've already seen one dude blow his out twice.

The stock axles seem to be particularly sensitive to operating angles, so getting the engine and transmission installed into the proper position - in the side mount holes - will keep everything aligned and happy.
