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.

 

Johnny has ripped out a b18 in his old integra with his bare hands

 

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

 

egine hoists can be rented for 18 dollars a day. use your head.

 

why rent when its free.

 

did this on a buddy's accord a with a heavy *** 2.2L we dropped the rear suspension and jacked the front.

 

holy ghetto! Ive seen guys shove tires/wheels and even cinder blocks under the front end to get it high enough
