Unhappy Engine/trans removal/install?

I've removed the engine trans from my car, but i am kind of clueless on where i am going to find the luck to put it back in. Considering that i don't have a lift, the *** end is jacked up in the air and obviously, the chassis is not leveled so i am curious on how it's supposed to go back in.

Really not all that difficult. Once you have the engine/tranny back on the jack, roll it under the car until the tranny mounts are somewhat lined up. Jack up engine/tranny until you can get the tranny mount bolts in. Run them in as far as you can, but do not tighten them all the way down at this time. Now you will find that all you have to do is jack the engine/tranny the rest of the way up until you can run in the engine mount bolts. The tranny mounts are rubber mounted so they have plenty of flex for the various angles the engine/tranny will be at during the installation process. Oh and don't forget to properly tighten the tranny and engine mount bolts!
