Default having difficult time replacing motor.

Ok, tried to put the new motor in today, and just nothing at all wanted to line up, I could get one mount in, then the trans and other mount won't line up. It seems like the trans is too low, but I jack up the trans and I get about half inch until it hits the firewall, no help there, I've triedjust about eeverything I could think of and nothing seems to be working.

I suggest making sure the trans mounts in the same spot

This may help.
