I just had the PV up on jack stands (5 or 6 inches up?) last time I stuck the motor and trans in, and that was with a longer M41 hanging on the back.

A load leveler makes all the difference in the world in doing this, because the angle of the drivetrain needs to make several drastic changes as it goes in and out. From level at the start to something like 45 degrees, then level again to get the tail of the trans over the fenders.

I just took the hood off, and the radiator out. With a load leveler and a cherry picker it practically felt like cheating last time. No straining, heaving, cursing. the motor went in perfectly, didn't touch anything until it set down on the motor mounts.
