Well, you're a gutsy dude for muscling a tranny without a jack.

...and I've made the mistake of not marking the distributor before. Not fun. Took me an entire day to get the timing right again, from 180 out to forgetting I had advanced the #1 plug one post over on the distributor.

Look...if you leave the transmission mount bolts in loose but not tight, and lower the engine straight up and straight down as long as the mount holes are the same size or bigger you shouldn't have any problem putting the mounts in.
