Very helpful I like pictures how do I get the sleeves in that cover the long engine bolts and lineup the Engine with the holes having a hellva time shifing the engine around to lineup and make room what a pain

 

The sleeves slot in to the motor mounts. You'll want to have a jack under the engine so you can get it at the correct height.

 

OK thanks I'll try tomorrow ran out of cus words for tonight lol

 

Imagine how many more you'd know if you were taking a rubber mounted engine case and putting it in a frame that was meant for a solid mounted case

 

Bahahaha how many engine mount dampers should I have I only have 4 but I see 2 large openings in the front of the engine I've got 2 dampers in the front lower and 2 in the rear am I missing some been looking in my garage for others but haven't found anything

 

There are six dampers total. Two at the rear. Two in the lower front and two in the upper front. The lower front pair are shorter than the upper front pair. The rear pair are of a larger diameter than the others.

 

OK so I'll have to find the others
Thank you

 

Well I'm finally at it again ,I can't seem to get the rear of the motor into the frame ,it seems too far forward and the differential seems to be keeping it from lining up ,I get,the right side in .but the left side is off kilter and the long bolt jams up wtf?

 

Pics help.
Differential? Are you working on a car now? Are you talking about the final drive?

 

Bahahaha no I will post pics I mean the connection between the motor and the shaft drive

 

Hey I'm trying again to get my motor in and can't seem to get it to lineup with the motor mounts and the dampers keeps falling out

 

here is how to remove it so if you start at the end and go backwards
install from right side slide motor to rear support with jack
and install rear engine mounting bolt

Are you using a jack to support the engine while you line it up?

 

Yes I'm using a jack but the motor is never level enough to get all sides to lineup I get in lower fronts in but then the top or rear are way off and vise versa I

thanks for your help it's getting the engine to slide backwards into the rear mounts the engine is so heavy it doesn't budge too easy

 

All of the rubber dampers need to be in their bores before placing the engine into the frame (although you can get the fronts in with a little repositioning if the engine is already in the frame).
If the rubber dampers are loose in their bores you can get brand new replacements from Chacal (they do cost a bit, but may be worth it), or use a dab of black RTV to hold them in place while you line the engine up in the frame.

The rear mounts need to be aligned in the frame first. Put the nut on the bolt. but do not tighten it yet.
Once the rear of the motor is supported you can line up, and work on, the front mounts. The frame ears on the upper front mounts should be done last. Leave all fasteners fairly loose until everything is in place.

 

OK sounds good I'll give it a try
