Thanks, motor is in and tranny is in and torque converter is in, went to put the tranny crossmember in and it wouldn't line up, went to the front to look at the motor and it's ******* sitting crooked, pointing toward the back left of the car if ur lookin at it from the front. I loosened the motor mount bolts (spohn solid mounts) and played with it and was just barely able to get all the bolts threaded into the crossmember, but it's still sitting crooked and I know that can't be right! So i'm gonna throw the cherry picker back on it and lift it up and tried to manuever it while all the motor mount bolts are loose. What do you think, any pointers on what the hell is goin on here, cuz i'm gettin so fed up right now, i'm so close to being done, I just want to drive my car already, plus i'm running out of time, it just started raining again, so i'm takin a quick food brake and gonna run out and get some little tow straps to make it easier to put the picker on since I have everything on the motor now and nowhere to really bolt it too.
