    As far as being able to turn the torque converter by hand yes with it fully seated you should be able to turn it by hand. Make sure it is fully seated though you should feel, hear three distinct clicks when it goes in all the way. It should sit in behind the face of the bellhousing by better than an 1".

    Not sure how to answer your question about motor mounts

    if the bolts line up to the mounts.. they're in right.

    Never hurts to level the engine out a bit(small bubble level works well) before torquing everything down either.
