A frame spreader might be helpful.

Frame spreader and an extra set of hands.... Or 2 extra set of hands. You can do it by yourself pretty easily. But with extra people it keeps paint chipping to a minimum.

Should be a piece of cake with the body off. I built a take apart A frame on casters to do the job. A little grease on the rear motor mounts also helps the engine slide into place.
