Motor mount bolt issue So I'm in the middle of swapping headers, and I cannot get a motor mount bolt in (1 of the 4 that attach to the block) It keeps going in sideways no matter what. Can I get away with three until I have it on a lift or something? Thanks guys.
Just be sure to install it ASAP, if it were me I would want it there. I'm sure your not the only one that has left one out.

I had this problem too. Turned out that the new Energy Suspension inserts stuck out further than the factory mounts (inserts) and were keeping the bolt from lining up straight. I had to grind down the head of the bolt to make it work. This was on the passenger side. On the driver's side I just shaved the ends on the new insert with a utility knife.

Yup, I ended up shaving the motor mount down as well. It sticks out and makes it a nightmare.
