Help re-installing Engine

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.
