Re: motor moutns driving me crazy
I had to loosen the frame brackets until the bolts were in. Went right in after that.

Re: motor moutns driving me crazy
These can be ornery & irritating. I always enlarge the hole when the engine is out. Johns idea is a good one.

Re: motor mounts driving me crazy
try lifting the engine off the frame brackets a tad. I've always done it this way and never had a problem.

Re: motor mounts driving me crazy
you can also use studs in place of the bolts and it goes together much easier especially on the passenger side with the fuel pump in place.
