Breaking bell housings

I broke the bell in my 12 second bracket car, 355/ TH-350 Camaro.
It had factory urethane mounts on the front crossmember and steel mounts bolted to the block, like they came in 1979
The driver side motor mount was slightly bent and the engine was
cocked up on the drivers side, just a bit. Could hardly tell, if you weren`t looking for it.
Found the bent mount when I pulled the motor.
Had rubber trans mount as well
Check the motor mounts are the same and not bent.
Just a thought...
Good luck.
