Anyone know if I can install a motor in from the bottom, without using a cherry picker? Its for a 98 GSR. And can it be done by myself?

 

If your hercules! I did it from under the car but a cherry picker was a must!

 

So you placed the engine under the car while it was on jacks, lower the car onto the engine and used the cherry picker to raise it?

Just want to know the easiest way to do this by myself.

 

If you have a good flat hard surface you can do it yourself. Go buy 4 small low profile caster wheels. A 3x3 piece of thick plywood. Make a cart, put the motor on it, and roll it under the car. Jack up the cart. gl

 

Thanks.

Exactly!, nice and easy

 

i do the same thing when i swapped in my usdm h22 for a jdm h22 in my lude. but i work in a dealership so it was easy for me. also i have friend who take the whole front end of the car off and just walk the engine out. GL.
