Install the motor mount brackets to the engine. Install motor mounts to brackets. THEN set the engine in the bay. DO NOT leave the motor mounts bolted to the frame and thenm try to install the engine, putting the cross-bolts in last.

First off, replace them with standard headed bolts.

Yes. Looseish, with the motor mounts attached so all you hafta do is bolt the mounts to the frame rail.

Are you using the original alternator?
