I'm pulling a 3.7 out of my liberty tomorrow if it's not raining . Will removing or loosening the one long bolt through the motor mounts allow the engine to slide forward or will the engine & transmission not raise high enough for the mount to clear the bracket the mount sits in ? 2005 Liberty .
I pulled the replacement engine a few days ago & it didn't appear the mount would raise high enough so I unbolted the mounts from the engine , 4 bolts each mount . I didn't actually try raising the engine to see . It appeared as though the bell housing would hit the fire wall before the mounts would clear .

The person I immediately though of was TwoBobsKJ. He did an engine swap a while back and documented it all very well on JeepKJ. You might PM him, or the answers you need might be in his engine swap thread.

If you look closely, at the cradle brackets, where the engine sits, you will see that all u need to do is break the bolt loose some and the engine will come straight up. The mount sits in a V block.
