Progress Pics and a few questions.

I wanted to check with the mounting plates that the motor mounts hook onto. I can't remembmer which side was facing the front. There is an offset so that it is an inch behind as opposed to if I swapped them they would be an inch in front. The mounting plates are basically an inch above the crossmember is that correct.

Keep in mind that I do not think I have ever even seen the engine mount set up for a 69 351W, but:

Looking at the picture in "Mustang 1964 1/2 - 1973 Restoration Guide" by Tom Corcoran & Earl Davis. It shows a rubber insulator that bolts to the engine, then a mount, which bolts to the frame/crossmember. It calls out the left as 6029 and Right as 6028, it appears that it is two pieces and that the small portion which bolts onto it goes to the front. This small portion is called out as 6031 Left and 6030 Right. There is a flat area that should be up and the rubber insulator straddles. The book says "1967-70 Mustang with Small Block".

Hope that helps.

It strikes me that you must not have any real repair information for this car; do they not sell reprinted manuals or CD ROMs? I have a factory repair on CD for my 1972 truck, so surely it is out there for a Mustang. Money well spent if so.
