Jack the car up really high and then use a jack with a board under the enigne to lower it out,then slide it under the car(you might have to tip the motor sideways to do so)then when you go to put the next motor in just round up 2 or 3 guys and slide the new motor in the engine bay and have them left the tranny side first put the main bolt in and then have them left the engine side and put that bolt in and hook everthing up.

unbolt from tranny, undo wiring, take off motormount, you and a friend lift out. ive done this several times and works real quick.

when installing the engine back in. the mounts should line up if you let the car sit on its belly.

word id say this is going to be you best bet but id use something a little thicker than a tarp maybe or a pillow on the tarp

I did mine with two jacks and some tall jack stands. use wood block to help the jacks get higher
