    For those using Revshift 24v swap mounts!

    The mounts have one threaded side that is centered on the mount, and the other side is offset a bit. My question is which side faces the frame or ground, and which side bolts up to the engine? I need to know this so I can get this S50 into the damn car already!

    I'm imagining it works the same as the oem guibo? Try it out.

      I don't think you understood my question. Nothing about the cuibo. These are the engine mounts. They don't have the little tab on them like the factory mounts do from BMW !

        I toyed with this as well when I did mine. I basically decided it didn't matter as long as you could rotate them around and get the drivetrain straight and the mounts not in a bind. I think I ended up with the offset facing up, but cannot remember. Working good so far. Turbo m52

          This is how custom engine mounts are supposed to be installed.
          Ask anyone who's put a LS1 in a pinto or an SR20 in a neon it's all the same, you install the mounts so that the drive train does not bind. It's that simple.

            When I placed mine on the subframe I figures they fit the little "cups" on the subframe best with the centered rod facing down.

                      Got mine in today, they wanted to both be rotated toward the driver side but it looks a lot straighter than any of the other swaps I've seen or done with OEM mounts. Header clearance and LCAB is plentiful and head is about 1/2" off firewall. Trans is straight no tilt at all. But I never have used a ZF IDK how the hell I'm gonna bleed this clutch.... Much less install the slave up there.
