Watch the trans lines and make sure that they don't hang up on the radiator support when lowering the engine...

That's a must to watch as you maneuver the engine in...

It's nice to be able to tighten them to the trans before dropping it in...

You can also install the starter before dropping the engine in it's easier to do that way also...

Have the headers on the engine before dropping it on the k-frame mounts....

Leave the transmission cross member off until you get the engine in and resting on the front mounts, then with the engine still connected to the tilting tool, raise the back of the trans until it just touches the floor boards, then install the trans cross member with the four bolts and then lower the back of the trans on the mount after installing the cross member, then line up the trans mount holes and install the two bolts for the trans mount...

Have the trans mount bolted in the trans cross member first, then put the cross member on and then bolt the trans mount to the trans... I use a phillips screwdriver to help line up the two trans mount holes to the trans after setting it in place...
