Hi Brian, Spent over two hours working those those motor mounts towards those frame stands, I mean we had everything every which way. Finally we got both sides about half-a-bolt hole from being lined up; that was it, you could tell. It wasn't going to get any closer. We decided "no way" and I went back to NAPA where I got the motor mounts. I told the fellow at the counter what I knew, we checked his catalogs and ordered some different mounts. Better luck this Saturday I hope. Overday
