My engine swap (1.9 for rebuilt 2.1) is coming up in a week. I think I pretty much have my ducks in a row (we'll see though!). I do have one question: I'll be dropping the engine with Zoltan's "sawhose over the engine compartment" method. My question is: do I also want some kind of hoist available to help with moving the engine around my workspace, or to elevate it while transferring components? Or will it be reasonable to carry around the floor (I'm assuming I'll be able to enlist a volunteer to help with carrying, at least) and bolt things on with it on the floor? (Note: making hoist-like contraptions myself to help are not an option because I'm going to be time-limited and don't want to give up any time I can be focused on doing the swap. But if having an engine hoist will make transferring components much easier I'm willing to pay Harbor Freight for one.) Thanks for any advice! Wes
