During and make sure you are careful when you put the motor in.

What you need to do is do the conversion, remove anything that you will not be using on the car from there on in...

Remove everything again

Paint the car

Reinstall everything

That way you know that everything fits and you can make alterations before you paint the car

In the industry it's called a test fit

Just take the side panels & bonnet off when working on it

^^ same as top LOL

I think best is to paint the engine bay first b4 you put the new engine in, so you wont take your engine 2x, save you on labour.
