[HWYSTR455]

I've R&R'd a ton of engines in my cars, and for the longest time Anchor was the only mounts that I had access to (as I remember). And I've had this issue a handful of times. Enough to really piss me off.

Some of those 'encounters' were in the late 80s, 90s, 2000s, and 20-teens.

Sadly, I would buy several sets, and eventually one set would work, tossing the rest in the circular.

I had a crew of friends over one time, 'helping' when I was dropping an engine in. Folks would come and just hang out while I banged on cars, keep me company whatever. But I ran into another set of mounts that wouldn't fit, was my last set.

So I climbed onto the engine, stood on the intake, with my hand on the cherry picker boom, and shifted my weight back & forth, side to side, trying to get it to drop in place. Everyone looked at me like I was from the moon. And when I said it was a common problem and its the mounts, that all laughed at me.

The guys still pick on me from that experience to this day. Any time someone has a problem, I ask if they want me to come jump on it for them.
