Problem is, when I lower it into the engine bay, the motor mount studs are about 1/2" too far forward to drop into the slots/holes on the crossmember.  The engine is right up against the firewall, so there's no room to slide it back.

Thanks for the suggestion, Tom.  Unfortunately, both are about 1/2" too far forward and the studs seem to be centered front to back on the rubber pad.  Worst is, I'm reusing the motor mounts from the 290 that came out of the Rogue, so the right and left mounts are just like they were with the old engine.  The 360 had the big car mounts, and they are way too wide to fit the Rogue crossmember, so I stuck with the '69 mounts.
