has anyone done a complete engine-tranny install in one shot completely apart now. would it be best to go back a piece at a time or all at once? 
Any help would be appreciated. Installing a new 408 iron block with a 400 turbo.

Since they are both out, drop the k-member now and install it all at once.
If you can't drop the k-member, install from the top as one provided you have the front end on ramps ( for the height; the motor and trans have to be darn near vertical to start the install of both from the top ).

FWIW, I once took out the windshield on a 62 Chevy reinstalling engine/tranny as a unit. I was working alone with everything suspended from a carport beam, LOL. Wonder how many carport/garage beams I've screwed up over the years doing engine swaps.
