Engine Mounts won't line up
So after long last I've acquired a running 350 to drop into my 84 Z28. The problem is the engine mounts, they won't line up. I have the drivers side through bolt in place and finger tight, not wrenched down yet, but I can't get the passenger side to mate up. The half on the engine sits about an inch too high compared to the holes in the lower half of the mount. Any ideas on how to get the passenger side to drop into place so I can throw the through bolt into place? I tired of this thing sitting in my driveway when it should be pounding pavement.

Dang, i guess I'll jack up the opposite corner. I lifted it in kinda off centered to begin with.
