A few hours, a lot of caffeine, but one 53 year old guy and three twenty-year old boys were able to get the whole engine plus trans in in one piece. Critical future suggestions
1. Front pulleys off
2. Alternator was on but needed to be removed to get the motor mounts situated.
3. Leveler set up so that one the engine is horizontal, the crank is way at one end so that you get the full throw of the crank moving along the leveller to raise the front and lower the back. This is not how one would think to set up the leveller up first use, but in this circumstance there is no point where you need to lower the front and raise the back so no purpose in giving yourself that freedom and limiting the opposite motion.
4. Lots of padding - pool noodles on the chain and loads of blankets
5. Two jacks, one for car and one for transmission once it’s partway in.

You had me for a moment there...
But no, all is in and in the next few days I reinstall the shifter mount, the lower transmission mount and then being to reconnect all of the things that had been disconnected upon removal. My only regret is that I had purchased the engine mount restraint plates from Alvaro and 1) didn't realize that his set (unlike CoupeKing's) is only one side, since I think it includes a forward restraint and a lateral restraint and 2) hadn't drilled those holes into the subframe yesterday before I installed the engine. Not impossible to do now but just a little more annoying.
