These just don't look right for some reason. there supposed to be for a SBC but i have never removed a pair these look right?

I don't like the slot or dents/holes in the mount in the top pic, but otherwise they look fine.  It looks correct but the left one looks trashed.

Looks like someone modified the one bracket. They aren't slotted.

SBC engine brackets are they he same size or is one bigger than the other. I am not sure. But the one on the left is a lot bigger than on the right. as in like the dept of it if it is bolted up it moves the engine over so far you can not even put one in on the other side.

Just a guess but did the motor ever have some cheap generic universal "block hugger headers" on it? I looked at a truck that had a pair of them on it and it took some serious hack'n to get them in there.
They had to grind off about 99% from the motor mount bolt head. Wasn't a whole lot left to hold the motor in place.
