Loosen the rear mounts and give it a yank. Retighten the rear mounts.

I will try that Thanks John

Once you drive it,it'll probably move more than that! Happy Holidays!!

was the old engine ok? Is the mount hole in the frame wore on one side? If previous posts don't solve the problem, there's a chance your frame is tweeked.

I loosened the rear mounts moved engine over where it belongs, retightened mounts gained 1/16 inch. Thanks John
