replacing motor mounts....?

Whats the easiest way to replace the motor mount? Should I bolt them to the engine then lower it down onto the frame mounts? Or should I bolt it up to the frame and lower then engine onto the studs? Im having trouble getting the 2 smaller bolts and stud to all line up. if there is a trick too it let me know. thanks in advance!!

to the block and set on to the mount, with a hoist of course so you can shift if needer. I remember doing my 22re that way with tranny and t-case attached with a couple of guys.

Leave all the bolts loose and if needed, pull or push the engine back and forth to line up the holes.

I did it on an incline so i ended up using a rachet strap to pull it forward and line up the bolts. They look a lot easier then they are. The new mounts are so much better, cant wait to get my tranny mount, should be smooth runnin'.
