When I jacked the motor it slid right in as advertised.
 
Thanks to everyone, don't know what I would do without the "list."
 
As a last question,
 
What should I torque the bolts to?

        Simple.  The weight of the engine spread the arms of the frame just
        enough so the 4th bolt won't go in.  Make sure the other 3 bolts
        are loose. Place a 2x4 on the pan and jack the engine just enough
        to take some weight off.  Now you can insert the 4th bolt. Been there
        done that. 
        
        Make sure you remove the jack before drive the car.  Make a hellofva
        noise if you don't.
