Default Fitting a CVH

Fitting a CVH to a mk4 Escort. Is it possible to do it with the gearbox allready bolted to the cradle and lifting the engine in from the top? The engine is bare.

Cheers for any help

Yes you can, just put a jack under the front edge of the gearbox to tilt it upwards to help the engine slot into it, then let it down slowly when lowering the engine in place.
