well you could have put the drivers side on the pass side and that would throw everything about an inch or so off.

I was thinking same thing...trans crossmember flipped around wrong way?

Or the motor mounts shot and motor sitting funny. Should be pretty close to center.

I actually went out and checked the pro50 in my car and it sits dead center in the shifter hole

I agree with crossmember flipped someone probably did it because it did not line up the other way.u may have to grind the spot welds so u can slide the crossmember back when u turn it back around so tranny mount will line up

proves some folks tastes are definitely different.

The solids will put more stress on the block at the mounting points. I recommend Urethane all the way! Trans mount too.
