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.
