Trouble getting a slant six in the car

that would probably make it worse since I don’t have a load leveler for my hoist. Like I said I did this same thing just a few weeks ago and it took like 3 hours and it was done. I can’t figure out why I’m having so much trouble now. Should I drop the drive shaft and shove the trans back further?
Been takings engines in and out 40 years and I still don't have that leveler thing. Bet it makes it easier, but...
