Motor mount bolt not linning up I installed a new oil pan and now my passenger side motor mount bolt is not linning up. I was able to get the driver's side by moving the center piece, but the passenger side isnt budging. I've tried raising the engine by the oil pan, but still no go.

I'm thinking of using a scissor jack next to try and push the motor to the left. Any other ideas?

Is your oil pan binding at the front frame cross member? What oil pan? I would not use much force on that scissor jack for fear of warping the pan. Something's not right here.

Loosen the bolts holding the mounts to the engine and loosen the bolts holding the pedestals to the k-member. You can even loosen the 6 bolts that hold the k-member to the chassis (you might need to loosen the bolts securing the steering knuckle). That should give you some wiggle room.

If nothing is binding (oil pan, long tubes if you've got them) I'd try that^^^.
Loosen the bolts holding the mounts to the engine and loosen the bolts holding the pedestals to the k-member. You can even loosen the 6 bolts that hold the k-member to the chassis (you might need to loosen the bolts securing the steering knuckle). That should give you some wiggle room.
