Hello Folks!

Bit of an embarrassing situation here. I have a 1970 Pontiac 400 numbers matched to the car that I removed for a rebuild. Also, worth noting it is a manual vehicle; and I have the clutch and flywheel mounted.

When attempting to reinstall I cannot get it to settle in for the life of me. I have purchased new engine mounts from Ames and after grinding too much new actual frame engine mounts from Inline Tube. I have confirmed both sets of mounts are accurate to the vehicle.

Essentially, I can get one mount to go on perfectly but then the other is slightly raised or off set and won't settle down. No amount of wiggling, crow bars or re-dropping is solving this for me. Just wondering if there is a trick or tip I am missing.

Worth noting I have a 1970 Pontiac Grand Prix had no trouble installing that motor. Also, just noting no frame damage or anything of that nature. Thank you all!
