worked all night to install a new to me engine and trans. used the furniture dolly method and it went off without a hitch (i thought) except i forgot to put blocks under the back calipers before laying her butt down to attach the trans. now everything is back in except the engine appears to be about an inch and a half too low. engine bar is tight, i did replace the old broken engine mounts with stock ones from the bird. defeated, i retreated to the house to ponder the situation with a glass of bourbon (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) tomorrow is the g and r meet so im hoping if a effed something up i can get a replacement there.
any ideas? TIA ,DAve |

TIA ,DAve rubber mounts outboard on motor bar used on a late stlye bar might cause this what year car? do you have rubber mounts on both the motor mount bar ends AND where bar attaches to motor?
