Default Front float-a-motor instructions

I'm getting ready to install my newly overhauled engine (Thanks James!) in my '30 tudor. Since I've had the car, it has had rear float-a-motor mounts and a stock front mount. After much thought and reading the threads on the subject ... and being that I can't seem to leave well enough alone ... I'm going to install a front float-a-motor mount.

The kit I got did not come with instructions for whatever reason. After reading here, maybe that's not a bad thing. I assume that the parts go together as I have them laid out in the attached picture, with the crossmember going in the space between the rubber bushings. Correct?

Read here that many suggest using a 1" hole in the crossmember and squeezing the smaller bushing in the hole. If you do that, then do you just let gravity hold the engine down? In other words, what would keep the engine from being pulled up?

Thanks very much for your thoughts.
