I was able to lift the car using a conventional floor jack, put the front tires on a floor ramp and the continue to raise the car, placing 4x4 and 6x6 timbers under the ramps until the car is high enough to slide the engine out and/or under. The car was then lowered until the engine cradle is raised high enough to bolt to the car. The first attempt took 12 hours. The second, I got smarter and rented an engine hoist, and completed the same sytem in 4 1/2 hours. Critical aspect is to make certain the ramps are solid on the timbers.
