The scissorjack is how I did it.

Here's my writeup of what I did. Check out Section 5.

I couldnt use a jack because it was out of the car and theres nothing to bracce the jack against. I got it by loosening the k member bolts and jiggling it around. I will say this now that the car is back together I dot notice any more vibrations than I did with the rubber mounts if anything it might even be smoother.

Default What I did

Mine was in the car but I had that same problem. I had to scratch my head for a couple hours. I ended up putting a floor jack with a long block of wood under a casting lug on the opposite side engine block. This took some weight off (lifted it up slightly) and pulled the motor over so the mount lined up perfect with the holes in the pedestal. I would barely raise the jack, check it, barely raise the jack, check it, .... until it lined up. I was able to slide the bolt in with one hand once it lined up. I feel like this would work with the K-member out of the car.

Worked well for me. Hope it helps someone.
