i havent heard of anybody running into this problem.When i went to put the SR back in i cant get the motor mounts to line up in both bracket holes on the motor i was wondering if anyone has heard this before and can help me?

 

Try swapping them around. left to right-right to left.

 

Don't waste your time with that ^^. Is the tranny attached to the motor? Need more details. Just work with it, it'll go in, make sure everything is clearing, make sure the motor is level, use some pursuasion if need be.

 

yea tranny was attached everying was clearing worked with it for about 10 hours if i get one side on a little bit the other is still about an inch away

 

Did you jack the tranny up to make it level? If not, do so that'll make the difference. If you have already, just play around with different heights on the jack til it goes in, generally it shouldn't take more than a half hour to get the motor from on the ground into the motor bay bolted up. Also, try leveling the motor with whatever you're using to hoist it up with, if you're using a chain, reposition it to be more level, or to bring it wherever you need it.

 

you need to adjust your chain or strap.

that happened to me once. some times you got to give her the man hand and she wil go in.

 

Try geting one in and nut it, and then using a spare strap hook it around the stud on the mount and pull it into place

 

driveshaft in all the way? (just throwing ideas out)

 

^ you dont have the drive shaft in while your putting in the engine it would get in the way to much.

 

hahaha If i saw someone trying to install an engine with the tranny and driveshaft connected I would have to slap them and make them buy me a 6 pack.

 

I install engines with the tranny on all the time.

Driveshaft never, but with tranny.

 

Engine and tranny is ok, I've done that; but with all 3, thats a no-no.

 

LOL now that I think about it, that was wrong ahaha

 

im going to try that this weekend thanks for the replys well see how it goes.

 

Do you have the engine mounts on the engine or still mounted on the car? It is a hell of a lot easier if you put them on the engine first, I got mine lined up by myself rather easily when they were on the engine. But when we swapped an engine on my friends car we left them on the car and it took about 40 mins to a hr to get it lined up with four guys helping. Just a thought.
