This is the only way I could get it to work.

I took the towers off and then bolted the mounts to the towers, I put the mount bolt in through the backside with a lockwasher and left it slightly loose. Then I bolted the mount to the block swiveling the towers as required. Then I tightened the nut on the bottom of the tower to the mount and finally lowered the engine down on the frame and bolted on the towers. I went back and retightened everything as good as I could.

Of course I had to take one bolt out a few days later to mount the power steering bracket. That one bolt took me 2 hours to take out and put back in.
