basically the crossmember does not have enough room to slide under the motor mount bolts
art u can use this to see what i am running into i tried to move the engine up but due to the due to the 5s being positioned at an angle. it does not really move as high as i want it to suggestions would be great    --------------------  1995 GT::::Diffusing the Situation エキサイティングカーレーシングチーム! march 2010 COTM : 6GC feature 2014 : january 2015-2016-2018 COTM |

That crossmember is a pain!
A trick i used when getting mine back in: those bolts on the rear mount are just pressed into their holes, if you set it against the ground and tap the bolts with a hammer they will pop up out of position so you have more room to work with. They will set back in just fine when you tighten everything down. Also, be sure to lube up the outer surfaces of the poly inserts with some axle grease so you can maneuver the mount easily in the bracket. -------------------- OBD-II makes me a sad panda
