replacing manifolds, and engine mount question.

Hi im currently replacing the exhaust and manifold to a stainless 4-2-1 manifold. We have got most of the bolts out of the inlet mani before we tackle the exhaust mani studs. We thought for easier access to the bolts and studs and also getting the new manifold into place, that we would undo the front engine mount and we were hoping that would then allow the engine to tilt forward and down. But its only tilted a very small amount.
Is there any way of making it tilt more? Thanks

you coudl try removing the steady bracket from the back, but i dont think the side mounts would like that very much. best to just get some good thin extensions and a mirror
