Thats a lot of work so far! Good job, and I'll bet you are having fun. I love doing that kind of work.

Don't over-think it...50 years ago the local garage didn't have or need an engine leveler. Simple to just bolt a chain diagnally from the front of one side to the rear of the other side. Put the hoist hook on the chain and pull! You'll be able to wiggle the engine around enough to mnuever it out of there with no problem.
