Thanks all- I started with a ratchet handle but had a little more center alignment with a deep socket on an extension... worked pretty well and the engine slid into place pretty well once we had all of the alignments of the bolts 😁 On a side note, a Harbor Freight transmission jack made all the difference in getting the engine lined up- dials for the platform and a ratchet strap to hold it down to the jack plate. Thanks all.
