    Hey all,I'm about 1/2 way through my v8 4speed swap.took everything out of the engine bay steam cleaned sanded and painted everything.just mounted my pedals and body side of clutch linkage,still working on the column.took the auto lever off but that's as far as I got.one question I do have is which way the v8 mounts go,they are tapered to one side.i got them from autokrafters,any input is greatly appreciated.

    One of them should have a bolt attached to it for the power steering hoses. It goes on the driver side with the bolt toward the rear of the car if I'm not mistaken.

    Flat on front with lip to bottom...

    EDIT, the P/S bracket is separate, it's just held by same bolts as frame mounts...

    I do not have any. The ones I have seen from Auto Krafters are dead on accurate.
