Default Next ERA assembly question - engine drop

Anyone who has removed or installed a FE engine in an ERA - is it possible to use an engine tilter for hoisting? I know some replicas have the engine sitting slightly back of the hood opening and a tilter will get in the way. I may be mistaken but I think the ERA engine position leaves enough room to use an engine tilter. I'm hoping someone can confirm.

Second - did you install the flywheel and clutch before dropping the engine in or install them after the engine was sitting in the mounts?
