After reinstalling my motor this week (first timer!), there is space around the motor tin at the front of the motor (nearest the fan). Can/should I loosen the mounting bolts and try to nudge it forward? Is this bad? I would like to do it, if for nothing else, the aesthetics - looks like it was done by a rookie!!

look at the rear transmission bolts..
You can move the package (motor and trans) forward till those bolts are all the way into the slots... How I do it ,, Car on the ground. floor jack, all wheels facing forward, put a board on top of the jack, and jack up the motor from the sump...just slightly...to relieve the pressure. Loosen the four bolts that hold the motor in place...remove the shifter rod first, or loose it up... I used two rachet straps attached up front to the suspension..and around the motor bar... rachet it forward till the tranny bolts are as far as they will go..the tighten it all back up. You should get the tin within about 1 inch of the front engine shelf tin..the rubber makes up the difference. I also found it easier if you remove the side rubber (just unhook it from the engine tin) so it slides better... Now, When you thing your done...measure between the engine and firewall on both sides...try to get the motor as square as you can in the car...it makes shifting work better.. Rich |
