But I do have a engine lift. Need ideas help.

I went against the rules and went out from the top because thats all I know,theres room and why drop your front end?
You need to use a piece of chain and shackles you move to differant spots to get the angle in and out,I marked these spots with coloured zippy ties for referance on the refit,worked a treat.
You do NEED to have the car high in jack stands to get underneath however,I did both ends (of course) and keep it nice and level (please be careful) no one will tell you its easy but when you fire the engine up for the first time its and epic beer moment
