Here’s what I did. Get 8 extra bolts and cut the heads off (or get some studs or threaded rod) and insert them in the plates leaving an inch or so protruding. Leave the bolts to the block loose and then lower the engine down. You will probably need to adjust the studs up or down as you go to align the engine mounts to the plates. Some persuasion from a pry bar and/or a mallet may also be necessary. Then one by one replace the studs with your bolts.
