ashbuster Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 been a very cold long day and getting very ive been trying to fit the engine in the supra with the box attached, im using the stock facelift engine mounts and i cant seem to get the engine back enough to drop on the mounting points, the engine seems to be real far back touching the rear of the engine bay. really dark now too, any tips. engine is going in without intake and exhaust side so expected it to go in easily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich.2211 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Have you tried picking the gearbox end up to tilt it into position? Failing that is the thread on the end of the engine mount caught on something i.e the power steering rack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Massey Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Have you placed the engine mounts in the correct position? I had a problem with mine and was due to the mount in the wrong place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Massey Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 It may be best to put the feet on, I found it easier to get to sit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 (edited) ahh crap any ideas which one? The drivers side one looks to be at the back when it should be at the front? You'll find pics of the answer easy enough. Edited February 7, 2014 by David P (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
