Hi Every one, I have been trying to re-install my 13bt back into my 86 FC. I took the engine out and had it re built, now I am reinstalling it the engine and the mounts are not lining up. I can get one side in no problem(the side with the turbo) but the non-turbo side (sorter engine mount) looks like it needs to move back a 1/4 inch before it will fit in the hole. The engine already looks like it is not in straight and if this goes back another 1/4 ich it will make it worse. Can any one help???

 

Check your connections (bolts) at the bell housing. Are they all in and it's even? 1/4" is nothing. Try to shimmy it on.

 

Fitting the trans input shaft into the flywheel/pilot bearing can take some effort. If it's not straight & the bolts won't thread around the bell housing, pull it and try again. Don't do anything with the engine mounts until you have the transmission fully attached.

 

That might be it, I have not attached all the trans bolts. I will try again today. Thanks for the quick replys
