Pictures would be ideal

My dad managed to get an engine out by jacking the car up as high as the jack he had would go, then placed a sheet of ply under the engine and then stacked snow under that... undid the mounts etc and scooped the snow out to drop the engine out.
this was way back in the 80's when they were poor and also had snow too
we managed to drops the car to the deck with no wheels on, unbolt and sit the engine on somethnng steady, 3 lads lift the whole front end up and over the engine and rolled the car back to clear the engine.

Engine on its own would be quite tricky, id recommend taking engine box out as one. Tie bars/bottom arms off, undo rear mount then let car down, undo other mounts then lift car over top!
#110 on this thread is how I took mine out.

We used to stand on the strut tops with a rope round the engine and a plank through it, lift it up, set in on the locking Panel and lift it off from there to the ground. 2 Man job but be careful as it can damage the locking panel.
I spent 90% of my money on Drink and Women, the rest I just wasted.
No pics, but in a mates old SR we dropped it out the bottom onto the bonnet and pulled it out! Front of the car was bent as was the bonnet anyway!
When i took my SRi lump out, i dropped it onto the floor with the crane then used the crane to lift the car up so me and a mate could wriggle the engine out.

They're over there with their new toys. Someone brought them in. No idea who bought them though.....
no tiebars etc, lowerd the car on the jack as far as it would go, unbolted the 3mounts and watched the 1.2 drop out, Then lifted the body and pulled the engine out with another car.
i use an engine crane to support the weight of the engine, undo the mounts and lower to the floor
then use the crane to lift the shell up and wiggle the engine out
I do the same as Pete did by lifting the car with the crane.Or drop the engine out useing 2 trolly jacks.
