Get a cherry picker. It will also allow you to move the engine around as needed as you put it into place.
I also used an engine leveler, which made the weight shift a lot easier. In fact, get an air rachet to use with the engine leveler, which is much easier than a manual rachet.

Second that.
If you want a straight hoist, buy a gantry crane from harbor freight.
Otherwise use a cherry picker. I used one for my car, able to put the engine in without taking the hood off.
