Thanks. I may have made my description and question confusing. I don't think the engine needs to go backward any further. I think it needs to come forward toward the radiator.

Right now the engine frame mounts appear to be in the rear position on the cross-member and frame. I assume that would be for I6? I think the mounts need to be moved up to the forward position to get the engine closer to the radiator and further from the firewall. ?????

Are there spacers that are typically used with the forward position for the frame mounts? Looks like if I moved them to the forward hole, it would put the mounts a piece higher than the frame rail. Which would make sense since it seems the engine is sitting low.

Thanks.
