This was an issue when I did mine (had to swap over from 3-cyl to 4-cyl mounts, brackets, etc).

This motor and transmission combo is pretty big for a metro, so all three motor mounts were fabricated. There is only about a half inch of clearance to the frame rails on both sides. All three motor mounts are poly bushed DOM sleeves.
Here is the back mount on the fire wall. You can see that the mounting point is off set by several inches, (about 5) closer to the driver side.
