4th gen motor swap
Pull the motor out of the top, or drop the motor and trans together? That is the big question...no lift, just jackstands, wheelstands, and a big cherry picker...

Ah ****. Read the question before reading the post.
Out the top would be easiest.

no way!!! i did mine with no lift.... jsut jackstands a cherry picker and some ramps for the rear tires (so the bumper doesnt hit the ground when you pull the front up) only thing is youll need a good set of medium high jackstands... i have the medium ones harbor frieght sells (they well small medium and large ones) and they held the car high enough to pull the engine out the bottom... and youll also need 3 dollies or just one for the trans if you opt to leave the tires on the K member... i took might out without the tires on... i dont see it being to easy to pull that engine out of the top with the trans connected... its hard enough on most cars without the engine being stuffed under the cowl like 9 inches.... just my $0.02

brandon, about how long did it take you to drop the k? besides disconnecting the driveshaft, wiring harness, and steering linkage, what else is there to it?

ABS is a pain. and steering lines. Other than that its like 6 bolts under, and the bolts on top on the suspension.

there is 2 brake lines... the steering "rag joint" shaft... all of your connections on the motor electrical and fluid.... exhaust and normal stuff... its really not hard at all... iv never pulled a 4th gen from the top so i cant say how easy that is... but you could easily pull it in 1/2 to 3/4 of a day... maybe quicker if your good... i work slow when im off the clock...hahah

sounds good. I hope to have this thing done in a 3 day turn-a-round(Drop the k, lift the old motor off, put new motor into place, put the k back under the car).

I'd add in a few days time just in case something breaks in the process and you have trouble replacing said broken part

ehh, time really doesn't allow for that. Motor parts will be here on thursday, and I need the car driveable by monday...so not much room for failure.

nope...never worked on a car before ![ROFL](http://www.njfboa.org/forums/images/smilies/rofl.gif) . I have thursday, friday, saturday, and sunday to get the car done. I will work without sleep to make sure it gets done. I don't see it being that hard, except for when I'm in the middle of it wondering why the **** I would take a perfectly good car and dismantle it....The motor will be built on an engine stand, so the actually head/cam swap shouldn't take more than a few hours....if that.
