i basically jacked the front of the car like 3ft in the air,pushed the motor,tranny,shift linkage still attached,and lower the sides,using 2 jacks 1 one each side.took about 3 hrs

 

Huh? I'm confused here. You installed the engine from beneath the car and lowered the car onto it? Because that's what it sounds like you are saying.

thats exactly wat i did,in my opinion it's easier if 1 person's doing a swap

 

Was the intake manifold on? Header/exhaust manifold?

 

Hahaha that's halarious.

 

motor,tranny even the shift linkages were still attached.all i had to do was remove the mount brackets that was bolted to the engine.not one scratch on valve cover or any broken sensors

 

i forgot,i removed exhaust manifold

 

my friend that works at honda,told me thats how they put motors in

,the only thing is that they have a car lift

 

Glad to see it worked.

Is this you first time doing a motor replacement?

 

its a good technique ... but I still use the engine hoist ... we do a full motor in and motor out in 2.5hrs flat ... we have to cause sometimes we do about 4 swaps a week ... the tough chassis to do is CRX but the EG, Del Sols, Integs are nice and spacious ...

on our racecar we just slide the motor from the front without a traction bar and bolt it right in ... thats a piece of cake except for the custom hasport mounts which REF"UST to flex ...

GBRTuning swap techniques LOL

glad to hear your swap went well
