Hi folks. I am trying (first time) to change my motor mounts. But they instead have changed me into a raving, tool throwing lunatic! I'll tell you what I did and where I ended up. I have the car on ramps with a jack under the pan. The motor is raised and the back is against the firewall. I removed the oil filter, mounts and brackets. Installed new rubber mounts. I attached the drivers side to the block.
The passenger side will not align. The back of the motor is buried against the firewall and I still need it to raise another inch to start the bolts into the block. If I attach the drivers side first, will this cause the opposite side to pivot upward? Or would it just restrain it more? Any ideas are greatly welcome.

Thanks,
Mark
