James, Quite a project to take on, glad everything worked out. Could you possibly explain in short what it takes to actually get engine out? Mainly, how high the car has to be for it to drop down.

I found higher is better. It really depends on the jack used to lower the engine. I took out the rear crossmember after carefully marking its installed position with spray paint for reassembly. I then took out the entire drive train. There are many connections between the engine and the car. I suggest using the 101 projects book as a guide.
