Since the car has been swapped from the 4g61t to a '63t, the front mount is pulled towards the pass side of the car. I've checked everything , tried reversing it, and filling it with window weld, and it just pulls back over. Anybody else deal with this issue?? :-?

He has a stock 4g61t setup, c53a.

Have any mounts been changed or have you switched to a DSM FWD transmission?

When I swapped from the 4g61t to 4g63t, none of the mounts changed position. Strange ...

Wonder if you bracket on the block has twisted? I mean it is great if you are making more power, it just comes
to mind. With the picture you have there, it would appear that the bracket is twisted.

I vote bent. Sorry. But at least this way you are making enough power to bend things now!

It does look like my mount is bent which came off the 61t, however if I straighten it, it won't line up with the crossmember :-?

Right now your bracket is intruding into the space the mount is supposed to occupy. It certainly will line up correctly once straight.
