99 ranger with 98 moutaineer 5.0 in it

I used the factory 3.0 mounts with ricks rangers adaptor plates why does the driver side seem to sit a bit higher? Should I take the spacer that came with the adaptor plates out?

Try it and see what happens. Or add a spacer on the passenger side. Or just let it ride like that. Probably won't hurt anything. Shut the hood and nobody will see it.

The engine is pre-torqued for brake stand... Lol

When I had sheared off engine mount bolts on my '00 Explorer for a few years it just sat like that... turns out unless you are in low range reverse it doesn't matter at all if you have a functioning passenger side engine mount . If there's spacers on the drivers side I'd just take those out as long as they're like 1/2" or space up the passenger side.

Did it affect your drivability at all?

No, it was fine, I honestly tried to fix it a couple times but it had been ran long enough with the motor mount bolts broken that it wore out the block so they broke instantly when going in low range reverse...
