64speed,
1) You put the engine and trans together and tilt the engine just enough upward until the engine and trans will go over the fender.

2) Now it is inside the the body and you raise the body a foot on the two post lift and raise the engine and trans an additional 1 foot and try to stick the assembly into the firewall hole.

3) If the firewall hole has the engine centered and the end of the trans clears the floor, you just take a floor jack and raise the back of the trans and install the engine on its mounts.

4) If the trans hits the floor you raise the 2 post lift an additional 6 inches and try it again.

At some point the engine and trans will be in the correct location to put the trans crossmember in the car.

SIMPLE
