It's easy to get the engine out. You just need to have a good set of tools and some sort of a hoist. I used a swing set to lower the engine then I jacked the car up high and slid the engine out the back. Putting it in I went through the top. I had to take the header off and it just barely squeezed in. Then I jacked the car up and put the transmission in from the bottem. I put a 20v engine not the stock, but it's still a 4age and most of that stuff is the same. Engine out and new engine in was 1 days worth of work. Then putting the trans back in took a while because I couldnt line up my clutch and I kept getting frustrated.
