cmamtower Posted April 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 I used to do civic motor swaps all the time. Put a jack under the engine. Disconnect the tranny from motor. Undo the motor mounts. Three or four guys with balls to lift it out. It helps if you deadlift 600 like me helpful part is that the tranny is staying in the engine bay. so only the longblock is getting lifted out and replaced. again, the motor only weighs around 300 lbs. so i'll get two others to lower it in, one on one side to get the mounts and myself on the otherside with the other mount and checking clearences. woo 200 posts : ) apparently you dont get the fact that the subaru was wrapped around a pole. and by the status of your comment, im guessing your mouth is too.

cmamtower Posted April 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 next question is: whats the best way to pull a motor with a hoist, but leaving the tranny in the car... i dont have the tools to get the axles off (need a 32mm to get axle nut off and dont have it nor air ratchet) so pulling the tranny isnt really an option at the moment, which would be easiest? the transmission has to come apart from the block either way, im reusing it on the new motor. both options are about the same in work wise. apparently you dont get the fact that the subaru was wrapped around a pole. and by the status of your comment, im guessing your mouth is too.
