John,

You actually don't want everything in the powertrain lined-up perfectly.  Sounds strange, yes, but a little out-of-line wobble is necessary to keep the bearings in the driveshaft rotating.  So don't worry about getting things 'perfect'.

With my W58 conversion I had to fabricate maybe a 4"-6" long boxed cantilevered piece of steel to span between the stock JH trans mount and the W58 mount.  If you have access to a MIG welder, etc. it's not difficult, just time consuming.  Mine's been in place for about 5 years now so I can't complain.
