While repairing something else (Idle Air Control valve) I accidentally unbolted TWO of the three bolts that hold the driver's side engine mount bracket to the block.
The IAC is mounted on a bracket which is bolted to the intake on the top and the block on the bottom.(Or so I thought) The rubber shocks for the IAC were broken and I couldn't get a good handle on it to unbolt the clamp and slide it out, so I just took the whole bracket out. BIG MISTAKE. The bottom bolts on the bracket are actually holding the engine mount bracket to the block as well. After I got them out (they came out surprisingly easy) the engine block slid down relative to the bolt holes in the bracket, so now I can't get the bolts back in.

Save yourself a lot of trouble and spend the time working on getting the IAC out of it's holder and don't take the bracket out with it. Stupid me....

Any ideas about how I'm gonna get those bolts back into the block?
