I usually put the engines back in through the front of the car.

you shouldn't be putting the chain all the way around the motor anyway, that is a very good way to destroy an oil pan, maybe even the pickup or pump too.

+1 on that. Taking the bumper and bumper supports off is quite easy.

It's also easier to remove the hood as opposed to going through it.
