man this motor does not wanna go in!

when i first put the motor in it was hitting the sway bar which i guess is alright cause i can jsut space that. now i put the motor back in and its hitting the drivers side mount of the steering rack and i still need to go down about an inch or so to get into the mount. it looks like even if i modify the rack mount it still might not be enough to get the motor down.

also am i suppose to cut out the old trans mount? seems like the trans is gettin caught up there too.

heres some pics. (little blurry)
