    Ok so I have spent 2 days trying to get this engine to sit centered and still cant. Over loosened everything mount, used jacks, ratchet straps, pry bars to get it to be better and still getting no where.
    Everything is poly mounts. When the engine and trans came out it all sat in the bay fine. I'm out of idea. Can't get it to sit right or the downpipe to fit.
    Anyone has this problem before?

    It was in a accident at 21k, has 100k on it now and everything is perfectly straight. Like said everything was normal when I pulled the engine out.
    I just said screw it and put shims under the one mount and it ok now. Not what I wanted to do though but there is nothing else I think I could have done
