Why is my 440 not level?

[RECHRGD]

The 440 in my '68 Charger leans about 3 degrees down on the passenger side. It's been leaning for years, but seems to be getting worse. Last season I started feeling a vibration while accelerating and I suspect it may be related to this. The mounts appear to be fine and are about three years old. Any ideas?

Sometimes the mounts look ok - until you jack up the motor. Then you can see if they separate.

my money is on the motor mount. just did my left one and it looked liked this...



ive had a vibration the whole time ive had the car and couldn't pinpoint it. i think this was it.

Yep, I'd say mounts. The rubber can get soft if it gets soaked with oil and things go south from there really quick.

or maybe one old mount & one new mount, maken' her lean to one side

Mounts are more then likely your problem as previously suggested. Lift the engine up a bit to see what they do but I'd replace those with a good set of poly loc's to avoid future problems.

I've got an almost new set of poly locks that I took off. Way too stiff for me. Maybe I'll just get a new stock set and do the bolt thru thing on the drivers side....

It's not level because it's leaning to one side.
