After several weeks of researching pictures of 1974 t400 cars the mount does indeed face forward (at least on 1974's it does). With it forward the end pan bolt of course is not a problem as the crossmembers u shape is under the driver shaft portion then. Of course mine is on backwards where it will stay until I have to remove the pan to change the filter which will probably be never....

here is a thumbnail of 2 74's with correct facing crossmembers.
