[omodified]

I trimmed the engine mounts all the way to the polyurethane on the top (you can see how much I trimmed off the LH mount in the first pic below). This gave me the clearance I was looking for. Now, the driver side hole is about a 1/4" off. I can feel the hole, I just can't get the bolt started at all. I tried different combinations a raising, lowering, shaking, prying, bolting left side mount, bolting right side mount. No matter what I tried, I ended up about 1/4" short on one side. time to stop for the night and regroup.
