Are you trying to put it back from under or over the car ?
I always put the engine on a wood pallet and drop the car over it. You'll never get the engine in it if you try to put it back with a engine hoist
Right now i got mine on the floor. Thinking about dropping car low low. Lets see. Engine hoist... Pain in the ass
Shake and bake
Good luck putting it in from the top if the tranny is already on. i've never pulled my engine out from the top. If its even possible make sure you have everything off of it to give yourself the most possible room. If you don't have a lift, i'd take the transmission off and put it on from below after the engine is in the car. It's hard, but the transmission can be installed with the engine "sort of" in place. You'll need a couple guys, and patience. Get the engine mount on the right side of the engine bay on loosely, enough to hold the engine, and if you tilt the tranny side down you will have enough room to slide the transmission on. Since you have it out right now, take the time to take that stupid "y-bracket" off the back of the engine supporting the intake/throttlebody assembly, you can replace the coolant hoses at the same time.
The only time i had the engine out of my car was doing my clutch and replacing those coolant hoses. i had a lift so i dropped the whole thing, engine,tranny,susupension/wheels all at once.
Good luck
This is how I did it last time
