 Mating the engine to the transmission after the engine is installed is very easy if:

 1- the clutch is properly aligned

  2- you tilt the engine backward very slightly and

  3- YOU HAVE HELP.

  I believe the problem is the steering shaft position and the interfirance when droping the engine with the header installed.

   I've changed my clutch so I've done the transmission / engine detail once in the JH and a bunch of times in other cars and trucks and found no problems.

  Having said that, if you, very carefully drop in the engine with the transmission attached, all you have to do UNDER THE CAR is attach the clutch cable, speedo cable, transmission mount, shifter and drive shaft. ......up to you.
