I saw a post about swapping motor mounts and a couple guys mentioned leaving the mount bolts loose while they set the motor back down....I'm guessing to align the motor to the mount. Going to be setting the motor and trans together into the open frame - what about the trans mount / cross member? Leave it loose too?

Cant imagine enough room to get under that motor mount with a wrench.

Thx.

Keep the trans mount loose, but no need to loosen the motor mounts unless you can't get it in place. I've never had much issue.
