Check this out if you wanna see scary. This is how the V-6/T-5 goes in Willit? I figured I'd put it here under this topic because it fits. You'll note I've got an incline to work on, that's make moving the hoist a bit testier, so I've got ratchet straps anchored to the garage frame and the hoist. Nothing moves until I want it to. Also there is a 4 ton hoist and a heavy capacity floor jack. Scary for sure, getting the package that high, but it's just high enuff to clear the car. All four wheels are on the ground, so there's no worries about getting things moved off jack stands. All I do is position the engine over the hole, let it down so the tailshaft is on the floor jack, then let it down some more and the floor jack rolls back as the engine drops in. It's really neat, and almost lines up with the mounting holes for the crossmembers. It should be all bolted in today, and then ready for all the peripherals to be installed.
