T2 engine install how-to

Is there anywhere that I can find a write-up, how-to or preferably video on how to install an T2 engine? I rebuilt an engine about 6 years ago and it has been lying around since then through loss of interest and basically I have no idea how to put it in the car (I did not remove it myself otherwise it would simply be the reverse). I now have interest to put the thing back in and fire it up after the car has been out of commission since 2001! Any info would be much appreciated!

There are removal instructions, reinstallation would be reverse. I would suggest downloading a copy of the FSM. You can do so here.

I know I know...it sounds stupid but I rebuilt it using Bruce Turrentine's rotary rebuilding video, the shop manual and my Haynes manual. It was actually quite easy. Problem is I wasn't the one who removed the engine in the first place. Of course nothing guarantees the engine will turn over once it is in there either! Anyway, I'll do my best and try and figure it out with my manuals.
