Don't the mounting brackets go behind the ears on the driver's side, and in front of the ears on the passenger side. The photo also shows the passenger side behind the block ears
In 1st pic can you remove/flip the isolator? It looks like it's sticking way out beyond the bracket?

Look at the mount shape in post#7 (which is correct) compared to the picture of yours. I agree that there is something hinky (that's a technical term...) about yours compared to the NOS mounts that I have on the shelf.
These are correct for abody 340.
What's the "D" on the nuts stand for?
When installing them. Always install the bolt with a flat washer on it through the block ear first then through the bracket with a Interference nut against the bracket and no washer on the bracket side. "Never use a lock washer". If you cannot find the original interference fit nut then use a top lock . Nylocks will get to hot in that area and will lose there plastic locking hold.
A body mounts have the bolt hole at the front of the mount. Post 15 is showing the proper 340 motor mounts. Kim
