So I thought I might chuck the engine back in tomorrow..does anyone for see any dramas with me putting the engine back in before the wheels are on?

I want the wheels on first because I figured it would be safer but I'm sick of the wheel side of things hindering process the chassis is up on 4 axle stands and I can add another two for stability...what you reckon?

Four decent axle stands under the chassis are probably even better than the wheels on - no movement at all. I would have no hesitation putting the engine in with them holding the chassis. Probably better if the front ones were reasonably close to the front of the chassis, but if you have the springs on, then behind the rear of the front springs should be OK (although under the bumper, if fitted, is perhaps better) particularly if the gearbox is in or is going in with the engine.
