what part of LA? I really need to get this bottom block installed. Smog check is coming up in 2 months. Hopefully it will be installed by then.

Re: Removing an engine w/o an engine hoist?

ive done it quite a few times by myself taking it out from the bottom. i jack the car way up and lower the motor down onto two cinder blocks (a good idea for insurance so you dont accidentally let the motor fall 2 feet) and then re-postion the jack. this works well so you dont have to really try too hard to guide the motor down as the jack pivots.
