Do the reverse of taking it out.
Place the new engine and tranny on the trolley and wheel it under the car. After raising the rear end of the car with the cherry-picker.
Lower the car down onto the jack stands once the engine is under the cavity that once had the 5s in it. Now attach the cherry-picker to the engine. Jack it up to where it "should" sit. Then attach the rear cross member from under the engine.
Now you can attach the 3 transmission mounts.
And attach them for crying out loud!!!
Once they are in, and can support the weight of the engine... Then release the tension on the chains from the cherry picker, and then wheel the lift outta the way.
Support the engine from the underside of the oil pan. Again with some timber and the floor jack.
Jack it up until the front and rear transmission mounts are about centered. They are intended to be torque stays... Not mounts.
Once the load is taken off the torque stays, take measurements on the passenger side for your engine mount.
Construct the mount using a welder, or have someone make it for you.
Once that is done, attach your "custom" mount, and remove the jack from under the oil pan.
Now its time to re-assemble the rear end.
