lets just hope it doesn't end up dying in a shore parking lot for years with an outrageous price tag.

If all goes well, which it prob wont, today is the day the engine meets the subframe for the first time.
Then i will try to figure out how to go about getting the engine in the car best. I have 2 dollys i planned on using originally, but i feel like that might be to low? I feel like the tubular k kinda makes this a pain in the ass. Can just throw a jack and jack stands on it where ever.
Maybe better off dolly under trans a roll it under with the wheels on ?

If you can get it high enough, I like the last approach personally.

Get the chassis high enough ? Shouldn't be an issue. Only thing I'm worried about if I do it with the wheels on is not having side to side movement to line up

I have metal wheel dollies if you want to borrow. Put a wooden dolly under the trans and roll all around.

How tall is said dolly? Mine is only like 4" off the ground, I think that's to low to lower the chassis down to. Once I bolt up the K member my crane won't be able to lift the engine trans and chassis all together. Well prob could, but I don't want to blow it apart

This is what I used, put a piece of carpet on top so you don't scratch the k member. I also had a lift tho. Sorry if this doesn't help just an idea.

And due to having the wrong bolt, this is the current state.

Well, if it wasn't for bad luck, you'd have no luck.

I just used three furniture dollies, two under the K area and one under trans. Rolled it under car, dropped car on it, broke dollies, didn't care.
Also, make sure you attach trans cooler lines prior to sliding under car.

Lay on ground, on your back. Place motor and trans on chest. Scoot under car. One arm bench press engine assembly into place. Torque to spec. (Tight is tight, too tight is broke).

Good to hear she's okay.
The Fastenal in Rutherford moved behind the Lowes, by the way.
