3.0 engine mount question

So I'm in the middle of reinstalling my rebuilt 3.0 in my 92 4Runner on new engine mounts from LCEngineering. I'm having issues lining the engine mounts up to fit. I'm wondering if the sides that bolt to the frame (side that holds the rubber) are different and I have them on the wrong side and that's why it doesn't want to line up correctly. Has anybody had an issue like this before or could provide some insight on my problem? Thanks!

I wil go check the late 80's 3.0 I have on the stand out in the garage later and see if it has the same mounting situation as the block you have.

That's what I thought too. But on my passenger side it only fits with the hose bracket on top but then the bolts that attach it to the fram don't want to fit. I just figure I would ask here before I lift the engine and have the switch them around.

No Telling what LCE might have done !!

Did they send any Instructions ??

According to Napa the engine side mounts are the same part #

I Don`t have a block to see if it is possible to get them on upside down .

You have them bolted to the block as you drop the engine in.

It is almost impossible trying to bolt them to the block any other way
