Default 2jz engine build, stumped on engine install.. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guys i have a 92 SC300, re did the block and added alot of love and time into this engine, Id be happy to elaborate on the juicy stuff later but right now im having a god awful tims trying to get the engine in. I have an engine lift and leveler the engine and tranny are bolted and ready to go. We can not get the mounts to get in the holes..... its the most difficult task ever.
My questions are:
1. How long should the chain be from the hoist to the leveler
2. How long should the chains be in the back//front hooks from leveler to engine
3. Should i have the car lifted?

Guys I've put alot of heart into this build and its been amazing.
Also bumper is removed and help,
if anyone with experience has the time and is generous my number is 7276439245 and if ya wanna give me some tips id be forever grateful.

You need to adjust the leveler to make it a steep angle so the tranny will go in the tunnel.....than gradually lower and adjust leveler in reverse direction.....also which notch do you have the engine hoist in.....will help out if you have it the 1/2 ton mark..

Chains should be really short....
