The Ford Barn - View Single Post - 1955 272 front steadyrest engine mount installation

hi, I am assembling a newly rebuilt 272 to put back into my '55 country sedan. When I position the front engine mount to bolt it to the front cover in two places along with two oil pan bolts it seems as though it's cocked back towards the front cover at a little angle instead of being parallel to the front cover. Should a correct install have washers on the two bolts to space the top of the mount out a half inch from the top cover, or does the mount sit directly on the face of the front cover. I would appreciate any guidance. many thanks, David
