well, motors back in...

just loosen all of the motor mount bolts (mount to block and mount to frame) and use a pry bar to shift the motor toward the passenger side and away from the steering box and tighten the bolts back down. Takes me a helper to do this without killing myself.

man didn't think of that! my problem is actually having to deal with the idler arm clearance, one header tube is directly in the way, but doing that may give me some room that I desperately need! Thanks for the tip!
