Good for you! 20 years ago I turned my hobby into my career. Then I had to get a new hobby

My mounts were positioned so the hole was forward. This is what was puzzling as my engine was a far forward as it could go but I was hitting the rear of the saddles.
I cut off the rear of the saddles and centered the motor mount bolts neutral and re-welded them
It moved the saddles back about 1/2 inch to achieve a neutral setting in the motor mounts and trans mount bolts.
If I had the mounts reversed from where they are I would have so far rearward that I would not have been able to get the trans in the saddles at all.
Here is a pic of how I had my mounts positioned.
