So I dropped the engine and tranny in and I'm using the stock tranny mount and drift freaqs engine mounts with the offseted bolts. I adjusted them so the tranny bracket and mounts and everything connected perfectly could finger tighten them in because they lined up perfectly however when I looked through the shifter hole to get the shifter part dead center I would need to move it about 1/2" towards the drivers side. Is it normal that it's a bit more towards the passenger side or do I need to keep adjusting things?

Problem solved. The engine actually had to be pulled to one side so it slid up and down on the slotted part on the frame.

I've learned that the best way to line an engine up in an S13 chassis is to get mad and finally tug a nut and lift the engine by hand and drop it on the mounts. Works every time after about a half hour of trying with a hoist. The car won't like you when your angry.... Hulk that bitch in place.
