I just removed the engine from my Mk 3.1 Roadster to do some upgrades (new heads and cams). The engine is a 4.6 SOHC from a 2002 Mustang. It was a real bear to get that wide engine out of the narrow engine bay, and having the trans attached to the engine just seemed to make it more challenging. I am looking for some thoughts on putting the engine and trans back in. Would it be easier if I set the transmission in place first and then lowered the engine into the engine bay and connected it to the trans. Or should I attach the transmission to the engine on garage floor and slide it in as one unit (the way it came out)?

Thanks.
