Default Prothane mounts wont line up!!!

Trying to put my engine back on the k member and the motor wounts will not line up with the bolt holes on the k member!!! I can get the bolt in on either side but when I go to put the opposite side in, it's about 1/4 to 1/2 inch off :ak: I'm getting really pissed off so if anyone could help ease my frustration that would be awesome Thanks!

+1. That will let help alot. You may still need a big pry bar. I had to use a pry bar to get mine to go on the driver's side.

Whew, FINALLY got that damn thing in there!!! I ended up taking an old pushrod and pushing it through the one side, threading the bolt on one side and then prying the other bolt in and I had to hammer it through the bracket to get it to fit. What a PITA!!! Thanks for the help!
