Yes that is correct mounting position for the mounts for BBC and SBC. Have fun getting the nuts on its a pain. Ohh by the way its best to take the frame side mount and motor side mount apart. Put the frame side on the frame and motor side on motor and THEN put the motor in and install motor moount bolts that connect the two toghter
hard to tell in this pic but its better than nothing i guess Sorry its SO big

x2 on putting frame side mounts on first, really simple that way. just slide your bolt throguh & tighten it all down.
