There is no way on earth you can do the swap without an engine lift, Unless superman is your friend and he is willing to help you out.

Re: I will be doing a miniswap
Just a thought...
...It may be possible if you have your car on a lift. Put a serious jack under the motor and when the motor is free, have a few people help you balance the motor on the jack while the car is raised on the lift. I guess same deal with putting another motor in. But if you're going to use a car lift, you might as well get the engine lift and be smart.

I didn't use a lift when i swaped. i just put my car up on jack stands and put a 2 by 4 on top of my jack and gentely lowered the engine down.
