Engine swap without hoist, need info
I've been searching online for quite a while and can't find a good write-up on how to do an engine swap by dropping the engine out the bottom, without a hoist. I don't want to rent or buy a hoist to do mine and I've heard it's not that much harder anyways without one. Who has done this and can give me some tips or point me to a write-up somewhere?

Just use a skateboard or something with wheels that can carry the weight. On the way outta the engine you can just jerk it out with a rope or seatbelt or something. The junk motor that is.
The new one can get pushed in on something with wheels.

Disconect everything but the mounts, lay the car on the floor on no wheel with a tarp underneath it, remove the motor mount bolts, Raise the car using jackstands, bricks, wood, Hell find 2 beefy guys to lift the front end up! Then slide the motor out by pulling on the tarp!
