This may sound like a lot of extra steps, but it has worked easier for me than breaking my back. Weld them puppies in. Hamp

I have the solid motor mounts and they didn't want to line up. But eventually we got it. Also, we installed it at my old shop out on racetrack road which had a gravel floor. So instead of moving the cherry picker around- we had to move the car- it was a pain- LOL Jared

I have been stabbing engines for a long time also. I just realized that since my Camaro started life as a V6 car and nothing was wanting to line up real well with a 1976 engine, this turned out to be a real easy solution. Also, I just assumed that if you were going to build a garage, you would spend the money putting in a concrete floor. Grin

Of course I do realize that this is SW Oklahoma, the land of the dirt floor. Embarrassed

Just kidding on that last part. Cheesy

Yee Haw!!! Thank God I'm a country boy.
