Need to replace hydrolocked engine (5.0L) on 2000 3000 SCR

I have to replace the 5.0 L engine on my 3000 SCR. Need suggestions on how to center the engine below the engine compartment hatch. I have twin engines and neither one of them are centered beneath the engine compartment hatch. Thanks

I've seen it done with with a fork lift and hoist moving out the port engine first. You have to remove the engine hatch completetely,

Thanks. OH oh...I keep hearing the cash register ringing. Makes sense though.

Typically the engine is centered based on the location of the drive, not the engine hatch. It's very possible that the engines don't exactly line up with the hatches themselves. However I may simply be misunderstanding what you mean by 'centered beneath the hatches'.
