engine position....?

i just recently noticed that my engine is slightly ( 1/2"-1" ) over the to left if your looking at it from the front. i noticed when i put my buddies t4 manifold and 1.0 turbine housing on, it touches the side of the frame/body. on his car it has about 1/2" of space. is there any way to adjust it side to side?

believe it or not there's more adj than you'd think between the motor mounts and the cross member.

not a pleasant job to reposition though.

You'll probably have to realign the whole driveline. Is your shifter centered in the tranny opening?

yea the shifter is centered. i found some of the issue today. my drivers side mount was loose and the pass side was pretty tight. i balanced them out better, and the turbine housing is no longer touching. it is still less room then my buddies but its down to a 1/4" difference.
