getting engine back in car.

Is there anyway i can drop the engine into the shell from above (like a normaly car)

I removed it by lifting the shell up but now want to get it back in. i didnt like lifting the car up with an engine crane....just didnt feel safe.

I've done it before without the turbo and plenum on the motor, wasn't that hard. So much easier from underneath though.

Keep the back end on it's wheels, rather than axle stands, and the whole lots quite stable.  

yer i did that last time but wheels were on the ground. it just didnt feel safe.

I agree that I wouldn't want to work under it like that, but it's only up for 5 mins while rolling engine under so not too bad..

Yeah that looks abit scary but long as it gets the job done

I know someone who changed their whole downpipe using the standard nissan scissor jack he sent me a wattsapp saying woo just got the downpipe off I had to say your an idiot why are you using that! I also had one bust on me on an R the nuckle slipped and it went right up through the sill

ive had a car fall on me in the past so thats the reason i prefer not to do it. Ive done it once and didnt like it just trying to find a different solution.

Best done from underneath.
Not a problem if ground flat etc & you do similar to john (don't need go quite that high though) with back on ramps or large timber planks.

Leave the wheels on brace it or double strap the thing lift it with a engine hoist pull the car over the engine or push engine under no way it will fall
