i had the same promblem when i put the motor in my 92 tsi but you just gotta get the motor in, then mount the front motor mount to the engine, and then use a big breaker bar to shift it into place from there, and do one mount at a time, you will have to just keep struggleing with it, there is no real trick to it other than taking your time and messin with it till it works, as far a point of balance, use the pick up point and the throttle body mounting bracket and leave more slack on the transmission side to it is tilted down then get that side in and let it down, remove the chains from the trans side so it is just hooked on the timming side and, pick that side up a lil bit so you can slightly move it around then when you get it where you like it,, mount you motor mount to the engine and take your braker bar and start movin it into place, also leave the mounts loose till you got all the mounts iin place, hope this helps, good luck
