habillage, état d'habillage

I knew my SNECMA days would come back to haunt me ...

Be it jet engines for planes or engines for cars, dressing refers to the 'bits', accessories or fittings attached to the bare engine that make it work ('organes périphériques' in a quote below). Oil pumps, water pumps, wiring harnesses, filters, etc.

The balance of the engine (is it initially suspended from a single lifting eye?) will differ depending on the parts attached to the bare engine.

More context around what has been given would help, I imagine. What operation is being performed, why must it be level, for instance.

"les échanges standards de moteurs peuvent prendre deux visages. Soit c'est effectivement MOTEUR NU, SOIT MOTEUR HABILLÉ, mais c'est évidemment plus cher. Le choix va se faire effectivement par rapport à l'état des organes périphériques."

"Engines are marketed in four configurations: short block, long BARE ENGINE, long DRESSED ENGINE, and fully assembled crate engine."

'state of dress' is related to the first definition of 'dress' here: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/dress
Definition of dress (Entry 1 of 3)
transitive verb
1a: to make or set straight

The ST is saying, basically, that if the engine is not properly levelled ('dressed') it may be necessary to adjust its position using the lifting eyes.
Peer comment(s):

agree TargamaT team : I appreciate that, I thought that depending on the external aspect we can lift it, but your proposition is more plausible
