Does anyone have pictures of their engine mount brackets and mounts..? Just installed my engine and I think the brackets are on the wrong side. Not sure how much of a difference it makes, but there's got to be a reason why they're shaped differently. The guy helping me, who is definitely a better mechanic and knows his way around the shop, is saying they're on correctly. Something seems off to me though. I've tried researching "drivers / left side" and "passenger / right side" brackets and can't find anything definitive.
Here's a couple pix of how they're installed.. They are just "mocked" at the moment.

They are mounted on the wrong sides, in your pic. the one on the passenger side belongs on the driver's side and vise versa.
 
Perfect... Thanks..!

Also note the direction of the bolts that hold the mount to the engine...

Install the bolts so the head of the bolt is on the front of the mount ears for all the bolts and the shaft of the bolts face rearward... Then you can slide the motor mount on from the rear and install the nuts all in one swoop... It's the way the factory installed them and works better than having some bolts facing forward, and some backward...

Try it, you'll see what I mean...


Left/driver side mount:
