I permanently replaced the starter bolts with studs and use that for alignment. Also leave your stiffener brackets off until you get the two close to mated. Another trick to give you more room to wrestle the engine back in there is to leave the lower half of your motor mounts out until you have the bell housing bolts started. I leave them out until I have the two fully secured together, then lift back up and install the lower portion. Only done a couple of these....starting to get the hand of it. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
