Thanks John Elle for the input. I took another approach to the problem and removed the driver's side engine mount pad from the engine support (on the engine) and loosely placed it into the motor support plate (crossmember), then dropped the engine onto the pad and lined up the bolt holes. Problem solved. I worked with this frustrating thing by myself yesterday and just got tunnel vision I think. A good night's sleep and venting my problem on the list seems to have helped. Now to the rest of the installation.
