66 289 Motor Mount Orientation

I'd like to modify my engine stand so that I can bolt up to the motor mounts so that I can run it and make sure everything is good before it goes in the car. It's been so long since the mounts were bolted up I can't remember the correct orientation. Here are a few pics to show how they are installed on the engine right now. Thanks for looking.

No worries there, it will be well built. The only reason I was going to build off what I already had was an engine cradle here would cost me roughly $150 Cdn by the time I paid for shipping and I already have a bunch of 2" box steel left over from my rotisserie project. The main thing I am looking at now is the correct motor mount orientation?
 
Pretty sure those need to be flipped as the single bolt on the bottom of the mount should point almost straight down not at a 45 degree angle.
