Thanks for all the advice.

I finally ended up getting them in last night.

I ended up tying a rope to the engine hoist bracket (or whatever it's called ) and pulling it forward while someone else lowered the engine.

Since the passenger side hole was misaligned back, that got the passenger side in place. I started the bolt on that side just enough to keep it threaded. Then I raised the engine just a tad. It was just enough for the driver side to come up. Since the driver side was over to the outside I pushed the engine in as someone else lowered it. That got the hole aligned. I put that bolt in and then tightened the passenger side.

This was quite an ordeal!

But I can't believe how smooth my idle is. Even when it is stone cold, I can't feel any shake at all!

Along with new mounts I put two new engine shocks and mounting kits and I did a valve adjustment as well. In the 30k I've had this, it is by far the smoothest it's ever been!
