Howdy,

I used an atv hoist to doing a Subaru swap:
                                                                                                                                        Craftsman Motorcycle/ATV Jack

The rear of the van needs be jacked high enough to roll the engine in/out.

I'm in Mtn View, CA if anyone wants to borrow the jack.
