Does anybody have any tips for putting an engine back into a 90 eclipse gsx? I dropped the motor in with the intake manifold, and the accessories and belts already on. Anything would be helpful thanx. Ill have pictures soon.

Any time I have put in a 4g63, I have the block and head put together, timing belt, intake manifold, flywheel/clutch, and transmission. Putting the exhaust manifold/turbo on is easy to to either on or off the car so I give myself some extra 'wiggle' room by leaving that off. Also make sure your radiator is removed for extra room.

Once everything is bolted in, you can start putting the transfer case and the rest of your driveline together.

I would also make sure you check out other things that are easy to get to with the motor out of the car; i.e. fuel filter, steering rack, master cylinder, etc. Its far easier to replace things like that while the motor is out and saves lots of your time.

EDIT: just saw that you dropped the motor IN not OUT. In that case, just hook up your sensors, put oil in and prime it, burp the coolant system, and your good to go.
