Drop engine in without attaching transmission?

Hello,

So, I am in the process of dropping my 1984 Ford F1590 4.9L 300 I6 engine into the motor mounts, however, I am a little concerned if the motor mounts alone will hold it into place without attaching the transmission. I have the transmission completed, but its 6:16 pm here in Salinas, Ca. and I am ready to call it a day.

I have it settled in, all I have to do is attach the two nuts.... will that be good for about a week?

That engine and frame look outstanding by the way. Nice job.
