For the xcessive kit....make sure you have the mounts on correct. I think the instructions say they should angle/point backwards. Also I had to shim passenger side mount 1/4" from the block and 1/4" from the subframe to get the motor level. The xcessive kit also angles the motor for clearance as well. I ran MW headers and had to trim the subframe to clear the runners. The right way to put it in once is to drop it in while leaving it suspended, unbolt/loosen the subframe and let it hang. Put the headers on from the top. Drop the motor in. Bolt up tranny first loosely, the bolt the subframe back in. Then adjust the block.
The subframe/rack out of the way makes it hella easier. I also made mt radiator support removable which really makes it easy, one person job.
