The other 'trick' I've used & posted before, is to loosen all of the engine mount brackets, and the engine & trans mounts, then pull them rearward with a ratchet strap or come-along & tighten everything down. It can give You more extra than You'd think, all of the tolerance leeway in the holes adds up, & I take everything I can get.
That is a great idea, and since it’s all out right now, it will be easy to accomplish! I still need a driveshaft too, so I’ll take as much as I can possibly get out of it. Thank you.
