Sunnybrook Farm, I did look to see if the cross member had been welded and didn't see any signs of a repair. Thanks for your reply.
Chris Hayes, Is there a way to tell if the mount is reversed by looking at it from the side? I don't want to take the radiator off if it isn't necessary. Thank you for your reply.
Chuck Sea/Tac, Any idea what the installed height should be of the motor mount springs? I have family in Gig Harbor and I used to stay in Bremerton when I went out there for work in the area. Nice part of the country!
Again, thanks for all of the responses, including from Marshall!

Typically the vertical alignment between the cowl section and the hood will be off. At least in my experience. There are others who are much more experienced in this...lets hope they chime in.
It may also be a good idea to take a good look at the rear motor mounts as well. Deteriorated rubber can mess with engine alignment a little, but many times people may have fudged with things in an attempt to make "repairs".
FYI: The front motor mount carries far less weight than it first appears. If you don't have a stock front mount, I would suggest that you put it back to stock. That's my approach, others may disagree.
