Hi
If you have bellhousing mounts side motor mounts are not required nor
recomended. The theory here is 3 point powertrain mounting, the simplest way
to achieve smooth vibration free mounting. You didn't what trans combo you
are using. If you use a late model automatic, side mounts with crossmember
is recommended. With any combination Itis best to stay with the original
crankshaft cenerline which is usually centered on the frame rails.-----
