What about setting the drivetrain on some pallets at heigth high enught for the engine to just slip out with one pallet or a partcile board underneath. The bolts must be pre-loosened, then we can undo the bolts and raise the car slightly to separate and create room.

We can then slip beams through the pallets to put jacks under. That way we can put one jack on either side and one to the rear of the drivetrain and slowly raise the drivetrain just enough to pull out one pallet. The beams should probably be secured with some wooden screws. Then it should be a matter of slowly dropping the engine with the jacks whilst removing pallets as it comes down. The pallets will minimize the potential distance it can drop and the three jacks should keep it super stable.

As long as the floor is not too rough it should be possible to out from underneath the car on the remaining pallet or particle board? If not dollies of some sort will be needed. I'm planning to use the bottom frame of my engine stand with a particle board platform on top.

To raise it again it wheels will probably be of great help to align everything up, or it should be done in sections to make it a bit easier.
