Glen,

I did mine separately, but if you have the rear end elevated it could work together. Either way a second set of hands helps. If by yourself you may want to do it separately as there isa lot of maneuvering. I did mine by myself, it was a pain but got it done. You definitely need the leveler, not possible with out it. Because of the leaf spring suspension on my car, I had to come in from the side as there was not enough boom on my hoist to come in from the nose.

If you put them in apart you can get some 5" long bolts that thread into the bell housing, cut the heads off and thread the into the bell housing (once the engine is secure on the mounts) and use them as guides to slides the top loader on and slide it forward. Once in place just remove one of these dowels at a time and insert a bolt.

Good luck. Also, I would place some blankets or other soft object around the opening to protect your paint. You will need at least one more pair of hands to get the hood on and line up the bolts for that.
