I've recently become aware of this problem...
My question is what should I look at for the cause?
Only thing I can think of is the fact that my driver's side engine mount plate came from the 2.9, but it seems to be level. Could both mounts (the rubber part) be bad causing it?
For anyone wondering, the 2.9 mount was used because the idiots at the salvage yard didn't know that one motor mount was still bolted down when they used the chain hoist to pull the engine. The 4.0 mount was almost ripped off the block. One of the holes in the block is actually broken out.
BTW, sorry about the quality of the pics.
Edit: I just noticed looking at that pic that it seems to have cut into the frame there as well.
