Default Engine not lined up

I tore a motor mount the other day on the way home. When I got home I checked under the hood and my engine is pretty far up and sits a little crooked. I replaced both motor mounts but the engine is still almost all the way up and now I have a death wobble I didnt have before. I'm assuming from the unbalanced engine sitting a little sideways now. How do I move it back into place. I tried prying a lil but with no luck. Any suggestions would be great as I am at a loss. Thanks

My left, and tranny are shot, (for a long time). I can look and see that the left is not centered in it's mount. To pull my E-Fan I need to get a bar in there and pry the engine back to get clearance past the P-Steering pump pulley.

The pont being I can clearly see the the mount is torn. I'm sure the tranny mount is shot as well since I'm moving it about 3/4 inch (and adding fluid to the T Case).

Besides a good look at the engine mounts, you might try prying up on the tranny, it's mount, may well be shot.

Are you sure you received the correct replacement parts?
