hybrind swap need cherry picker?
you get 2 jacks, put one on each side of the car near the middle on the 2 rails that are close to the center of the car. i have done 3 cars this way..... its not hard to do.. if i have a cherry picker i attach that to the tow hooks and jack the front of the car up with that. slide the motor under, put it on jackstands and lift the motor up from the bottom w/the lift.....
hell we put the motor back in my friends 00si in her apt parkin lot w/o a lift

Sucks to be most people! I got a 6 ton chery picker, a walk in grease pit and a motor stand.
I can build anything I like in my back yard! I could own a 2001 911 RUFF a Supra TT and a ferarie F1 for the money I have put into tools. Got tools coming out my ass and hardly no car parts

you dont need no engine lift...... jack the car way up in the air, slide the new motor under it nad lower the car onto the engine, you will have to pick the tranny side up about 3 inches but the driver side will fall right into place. you can take the engine out the same way, lower the car till the engine is on the ground and unbolt it, jack the car up

We do that all the time. We've done a couple of Accord H22A swaps, Integra and a bunch of civic swaps that way.....and....you don't have to take off the tranny like when we use to use a cherry picker. However, we take out the front cross member also. Its a lot easier than you think once you see it done and takes minutes. Just watch out because we have a lot of close calls on crushed knuckles.:thumbup:
