    I had a heck of a time with ours when I installed poly mounts. Basically ended up using a large pry bar to leverage it into place in order to install the bolts that attach the driver side mounting plate to the block.

    If you loosen but not remove the bolts on the passenger side pedestal to the k member it will make it easier to install.

    On top of what those guys said, I always put the bolts for the frame in first, leaving them loose, then line the motor up, using a pry bar or jack to get the motor bolts in.
