    I did my first few conversions without a crane. Undid the rear engine mount then lowered the front of the car right down with no wheels or tie bars on so front panel is pretty much on the floor then unbolted the front two engine mounts. Then just lifted the car up over the engine using a trolley jack with a spare tyre on in the middle of the car.

    Refitted the engine in the reverse order. Not that difficult.

    haha it's all good mate. Just the old aged miners homes out the back were bringing the place down so I thought I could nip in and decimate a car seeing as they were vacant. I only done it because I could. had they been occupied or as it is now, a building site for a new estate then I wouldn't have

    First time - spare wheel under sump with jack underneath + 4 mates to lift the shell and support the engine whilst pulling it out underneath.

    Second time - Strip it down to a block in the car and lift it out the top by hand.

    Just borrow or rent a crane, makes me laugh when people use the crane to lift the car...

    place jack under sump with large peice of wood spanning the gearbox and sump, undo all mounts and lean engine forward as you lower it, jack up the rest of the car with spare jack under where the rear mount goes, drop engine, shout and swear and drag engine from under the car leaving large oil stains on your dads driveway. proper job!
