Mark,
If dropping the engine is a real concern, there is a foolproof way of doing it.
Place a floor jack under the transmission mount. Rent a engine hoist and buy a come-a-long. Secure the come-a-long to the frame of the hoist, run the cable with the hook end through a pulley, and attach the pulley to the end of the hoist where the pelican hook is. Attach the hook of the come-a-long to the center of the rear engine support and whalla - you can lower the engine with the come-a-long.
If you want, I have some pics I can send you to show you the setup. That is how I did my removal - real easy and one person can do it.
Regards
Steve
