motor swap in from bottom
So this worked very well. I was able to do this myself with basic stuff and it was much easier then from the top. The headers were put on the motor on an engine stand which took 10 minutes compared with 3 hours in the car. Then I put the motor on the hoist and lowered it and bolted it to the K frame sitting on some moving dollies. Then I needed about 15 more inches up on the body to have enough room to roll it under. I used the floor jack on one side and the engine hoist on the other doing a little at a time and moving jack stands up as I went. Then the motor under and back down. Now the motor was to low by about 8 inches so I picked the whole assembly up with the hoist until the bolts on the k memeber lined up.
