i have already assembled my engine and wanted to know if i will be able to put the engine back in through the top? or will i have to drop the k-member and bring it in from the bottom? i have up to the valve covers, no intake. i measured the opening and the engine (oil pan to top of head) and it seams to be about the same dimensions and wondered if anyone has dropped it in like this before. i couldnt find what a post similar to this on here.

here is a picture of it. it should run pretty good once it is back in. has high volume high pressure melling oil pump. comp cams heat treated pushrods. harland sharp rockers. trick flow 215 cnc heads, comp cams 54-444-11 camshaft. new lifters. new oil pan and timing cover gasket and trick flow timing chain.
it also has the fast 90/90 intake tb waiting to go on once the engine is in along with 36 lb/hr fuel injectors and some other little goodies.
i am also putting a new ram clutch in it with new slave and the 1/8" drill mod. the rear end is getting new bearings and seals along witha 4.10 gear ratio.
if you cant tell im anxious to get this car done!

any help or thoughts would be much appreciated.
if this is in the wrong section please let me know.

Dude, tape off the intake and exhaust ports before more dust/contaminants gets inside the engine.

Those are the nicest looking rockers arms I have seen in a while! I demand clear valve covers to show those off at all times.
