Does it lean or it offset to one side like it is crooked?
Is the engine level?

The engine does not look tilted, so its must trans mount related.

Maybe my eyes are fooling me but the engine looks rotated counterclockwise. This would explain the transmission tail being rotated that way. If the engine is straight and the transmission is bolted to it, it can't be bent that far off.

Ford double hump crossmember.... Energy suspension bushings on it it’s welded even .... by the summer I’ll have there trans and engine mounts.... couldn’t get a picture of the engine mounts .... it does lean/angle towards the passenger side .... but it seems like you would have to correct it at the engine mounts ????

Yep... Crooked engine equals crooked engine mounts. Something isn't bolted in the right spot. Shouldn't be difficult to find.

Both sides of my crossmember look the same ...... I guess that’s what this hobby is all about figuring out all the little problems....

Cool man. Looks like a collapsed mount in that last pic. Let us know how the transmission sits thru the floor hole like before.

That mount was toast. Was it an original mount, or a parts store replacement at some point?

Lol.... Sounds like my luck. I love my MM strut tower brace but it's constantly in the way. That's why it's off right now! I putt around now anyway and I have their full length subs so I may not put it back on.

Same here. I have a old Kenny Brown brace and it really ties the front of the car together and almost eliminates cowl shake altogether, but man it’s a pain to work around.
