"Stab" is not an uncommon term for installing a powertrain, particularly when the engine and transmission are longitudinal and installed as an attached pair and where it's actually possible to install in that fashion. The particular verb is fairly dependent on exactly how one goes about doing the install. I would not expect that word to be used for the installation of a powertrain into rear engine, rear wheel drive vehicle where it installs by lowering the car body down onto the positioned assembly.
