My brother has lost the engine in his 2008 Ford Edge with the 3.5L. We are considering purchasing an used engine and replacing it ourselves versus having the dealer do it. Myself and my dad are very mechanically inclined though much more experienced on older cars than new. My main concern is can the engine come out the top? We have a pit and engine hoists but no lift. It seems going out the bottom would be easier but I don't know if we can get the front end high enough. Is there anything else that someone not working at a dealer should be aware of or make you hesitant to do this at home?
