Putting this reply back to the list so everyone interested can see: Yes. Here's the process:
Engine and tranny are out of the car. I put the tq onto the input shaft of the tranny I mated the tranny to the engine, whilst simultaneously sliding the tq studs through the holes In the flexplate. I then put enough (but not all) the tranny bolts in to fully mate the engine and transmission. I then turned the motor over slowly to expose each tq stud so that I could put the nuts on. I installed all 4 nuts. I turned the engine one moer complete revolution to check them all. I then installed the starter. We then put the engine/tranny combo into the car. I did not try to turn the engine over again until the engine was fully installed and ready to test-fire.
