Need help stat!!!!!

jcarter8432 · February 18th, 2009, 02:55 PM

I was in the process of installing long tubes and i unbolted both motor mounts(stupid me). i got my passenger side in and went to dop the motor back down and now my motor mounts arent lining up. in the process of all this the motor moved itself more towards the drivers side. Nothing i do gets the motor moved in the right direction. I need help guys before this thing slips and crushes my oil pan. Any ideas?

PS the engine loops attached to the headers arent attached so hoisting it and sliding it over isnt gonna do it.

If your using a cherry picker try hooking the chain left or right....

Pry bar, move the chain, get a helper. There is no easy way of getting it in.

+1 this is the easiest way. If your jacks on wheels just roll it the way you need it.
