These are all fine and dandy ideas, guys, but since the mount is a rubber
part and there’s no way to gain any sort of purchase to speak of on the
top
side o fit when it’s installed, none of these suggestions are viable. And
yes, I used a punch to try and get things lined up, but as soon as I
would
withdraw it from the opening the mount would move back out of position.
Remember, you’re also working through an opening that’s about 1” in
diameter dealing with a hole that about 3” deep in the crossmember, too.
I ended up lifting the engine slightly, just enough to take some of the
weight off the mount,, then using a large crescent wrench on the bosses
of
the mount, pulling the mount over to line things up while simultaneously
running the bolt in with a long extension and a socket.
Took some major gyrating but it worked, that’s all that matters.
The car idles so nicely I can’t believe it. I think it would easily pass
the champagne glass test if the hood didn’t have such an angle to it.

That is what tapered punches are for.
Iron workers regularly use a large version of that for lining things
up
right ...

Sounds like fun. I hate it when things don't line up *quite* right
