I know zip about mechanical design but my gut-feeling about the stress in 
the engine mount
joints if it was off enough to have to use a 2x4 to deform it is scary. 

I'd assume it is still within the elastic limit; but  wouldn't the idea be
to drill the holes to fit the mount rather than stress the mount to fit the
holes?
