Yeah, the year--make--model that the engine came from would be helpful? w/o that I don't know what to tell you? In the old days, some generators, you could clock it. Take out through bolts on generator, Turn the front half vs the rear half to see if you could get mounting holes to match up. I don't know if that would apply on your vehicle? Just a thought. good luck
