[QUOTE="Chris S, post: 493769, member: 5757"] At this point I put the engine back in(with crossed fingers) hoping that the mounts had not moved when burning them into the frame! Low and behold it fell into place and fit and the engine mounting bolts fell freely through the holes as I hoped they would. Decided at this point to bolt the transmission up to check fitment of it( bell housing to firewall which should have been done prior to burning in the mounts) and it cleared fine but I did run into a little snafus as the engine was cocked slightly to the passenger side! I slept on this and asked a few opinions about it as to do nothing and let the rubber isolaters on the engine mounts absorb it or drill the mounting holes out a little or both, as I was not prepared to take 1 of the mounts back off to move it a 1/16"-1/8" to correct this problem! Call me lazy,half assed or whatever you may but I welded the hell out of those things so I decided that running a drill bit a couple of sizes over through all 4 bolt holes would do for me! Anyway knowing what I know now I would have bolted the transmission to the engine before deciding the engine was square in the bay by mearly measuring from fan blades to radiator face as I did!!
