A friend that owns a repair shop has a customer's 1973 Challenger with a 340 in it. The driver's side of the engine is almost 1 1/2" lower than the driver's side. The customer had the engine rebuilt recently. My friend is not sure if the correct motor mounts were used or if there is some other issue. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Did he put new motor mounts on? 1970 to 1972 mounts are different than 1973

The engine was in the car when it got to my friends shop. He hasn't pulled it out and hadn't planned to until he noticed the engine being out of level. It has/had a blown head gasket. The owner had a couple different guys work on the engine. I don't know how long ago the engine was done but it hasn't been long. I don't think the owner trusts either of the people that worked on it before. My friend works on a lot of the old cars in the area. He currently working on a 33 Plymouth street rod, this 73 Challenger and getting ready to do a GM crate engine conversion on a 97 truck. He just installed a newly rebuilt engine in my 68 Beaumont.
