it was defiantly not easy to take the engine out
all i was thinking about is what will be the best way to slide it back in without ruin the new powder coat and engine pain

I am sure you guys have more experience then me and will have good tips

In other posts on this site others have had success putting the engine back in by lying the engine on its side and with help sliding the frame down over it. Then putting a couple mounting bolts in place then putting it upright again.

Impressive work - thats a major transformation: well done..
I know Pete said it earlier, but that engine looks so impopsing when out of the frame.

I slid mine out on a piece of lumber, but putting it back in I had the luxury of a block and tackle (now installed in my garage), and with that you can easily do it on your own.

Otherwise indeed on its side would be the way to go, but you may need a second pair of hands getting the whole thing back upright! It is HEAVY!!
