tilt the engine down,.that involves getting a block of wood to go between the rad shrouds and teh fan,.OR jack the engine up at the front pulley.
this will give you the LOOK that the engine is gonna Fly out of the engine bay,(tilted UP in th front and LOW in teh rear of the engine)
NOW,since the engine is now Tilted you should not have a proolem mating the Trans and the engine together..IF I CAN DO IT with 3 Busted vertebrae,you can!
OH,I find if you take the Trans cross member off,the trans is easier to man handle.Put the Mating bolts in.then jack the whole assembly up near the tail stock and put the cross member back on.You may have to do this loosely to fit,then tighten up as you get the bolts in.
Disregard Spelling please.,

when i did mine, i jacked up the back of the tranny all the way up to the bottom of the car, and bolted the bottom on first. i used longer bolts up top with washers and it drew the engine down to the tranny where it is supposed to be. then i bolted all the other bolts and the longer one i took out and put the regular bolt in. it was a bitch. good luck.
