Awkward to do on your own but not impossible.

Jack the engine from underneath to make it more manouverable.

If you have a hoist still use this as well if not get a piece of woodlonger than the engine bay is wide and bridge the gap and tie rope round the engine and shift it around a bit until the holes line up.

First of all just put one bolt in each mount finger tight so you dont pull it off centre.

what engine r u trying to fit, if it is a 2ltr 8v or 16v ull need new brackets.

If ur having probs try putting the front left engine mount on finger tight then the rest, after 1 bolt is in as him above said the egine will find its own center, Other then that out the mount on the engine THEN in the car.
