My preference is to fit the pistons and rods (plus "tin lids") in the block, then lower the complete assembly onto the crankcase. I use a piece of wood across the central head studs to prevent inadvertently pushing the pistons out the top.
I have never tried this with an engine installed in a car. I alway remove the engine to work on it.
