We tried putting the transmission dipstick tube in last night--no way to get it in place without pulling the engine upward and forward. It didn't go nearly as well as the original engine install. Here's what we learned:

First, if using headers , don't try to pull or install the engine with the oil filter housing in place. The starter can be left in place, but if both the starter and oil filter housing are in place, it doesn't work well. If the steering box was not in place, engine/header installation would work fairly easily, but it can be done by removing the oil filter housing.

Second, you may want to install the engine before putting the wiper/washer motor in place. Valve cover interference with damage to both could be avoided.
