Robert,
I do not have height measurements for the engine that are from a generic
source, but for what it is worth if the mounts are in opposite then the
engine will be slightly forward and higher than otherwise as I recall.
My engine is 10.25 inches measured from the MSD Distributor to the
nearest edge of the formed opening of the engine bay. Not sure though if
the MSD distributor is the same diameter as a stock Ford unit. I took a
2x4 and laid it across the fenders directly over the timing cover and
measured down 7 and 5/8 inches (7-5/8") to the timing cover casting at
the formation of the uppermost bolt (Closest point to 2x4). This should
give you a decent comparison.

Hello Tim,
Is there any way to determine which mount is the left & which is the
right.
There were no markings on the mounts I received from SS last year & as I
am
trying to recall the installation, I "think" they would only go on one
way
anyway? I could be wrong though...
My engine does seem to sit a bit higher than what it was before the
install,
but I figured that was attributed to the new mounts?
Do you know of any measurements that could be referenced to determine
what
should be - the correct height of the motor?
Thanks,
Rob Smith
