Well my job for tomorrow is
Lift engine/box cut off mounts and reposition everything
Give me something to do while I'm waiting on my turbo manifold anyway

I ended up taking engine and box out and repositioned the mounts
At the same time I'm moving the engine over towards the passenger side slightly
To give me more clearance under the bonnet
