Ive just dropped a 617 into a Wagon that was a 280TE with a gasser M110....
The rubber-mounts were already fitted and in great condition so I didnt disturb them. The motor mount-arms on new 617 just located perfectly on the top, when the motor was lowered (At the right angle!)
I kept maybe 99% of the motor weight on the lift, so was easily able to shove the engine back/forth/left/right until the holes lined up and the bolt went straight in no probs, or excess force....
I didnt need to alter the position of the rubber-mounts on the chassis at all....
--Apart from finding the correct centre of gravity of the engine/trans so its angle was right, fitting the motor etc, was surprisingly easy....
