It'd help to know what engine, front mount or rear mounts!

Seems there's no reason to reverse them.

I think if you put them on backwards the engine would hit the firewall?

You remember what holes in the frame to bolt them to?

Should work out

There should be 2 bolt holes for the mounts on the frame, the poly uses the front hole, so if you use the back hole, that should suft the engine 1" back so it meets the trans.

I havnt done a poly to hemi swap, but I think that should work

IMO, there are 2 variations to these mounts, depending on the wheelbase of the they are used in.
On a longwheelbase car the 'tabs' point to the front of the car. Reverse for a shortwheelbase car. But the mounting to the block stays the same.

At least that's what I can remember the last time I played with them on a car.
