Re: how did you do it?! (CivicHB_92)
im guessing you mean an engine lift?
Im pretty sure thats the best and easiest way to take the motor out of the car

Re: how did you do it?! (CivicHB_92)
There are 5 ways to remove and replace and engine in a cvic.
1. Cherry Picker. (its ony $230.. cheapest and most feasible).
2. Chain Block attached to roof of garage. (garage pillar must be reinforced)
3. Car Lift (drop engine from under... shops have this)
4. Take the engine piece by piece. (Will take you forever)
5. Lift engine with bare hands ( U have to have lots of friends ....... a stupid way of doing it)

get a lift.
i paid 170$ for mine at harbor freight.
works like a charm. and its not worth the risk doing the other methods.

Re: how did you do it?! (KAMiN)
You can actually do a swap with two floor jacks. One to lift the car. Set the motor on the other and work it into place. Trust me, it works. I've done it before. It's not the easiest way, but it does work.

Re: how did you do it?! (CivicHB_92)
I think buying an engine lift would be your best bet. I bought one f my swap, I was able to drive my car into my garage pull my old motor from the car and have the car back in the drive way waiting for the new motor in under two hours with only one other person helping me, when I installed my b16 into the car I had one friend with me and we had the new motor installed into the engine bay all bolted up in 40 minutes. I think over and over again my engine lift was worth every penny it made life so much easier when doing the swap.

Kind of like this
Works great!! We have used it to pull a 3.4l Oldsmobile iron block. And a Mitsu 4G63 iron block. All of them included the tranny!!
