Engine install

[Mad_Marc]

So before deploying I had access to a lift and dropped the whole k member to pull motor and get it built. I'm coming back soon and will no longer have access to a lift as they closed the hobby shop on base due to budget cuts. Has anyone installed a motor on k member with jack stands and engine hoist? Looking for an alternative way to install the motor before heading down to San Diego to install the turbo kit at CPR's shop. Should be back first week of March so just trying to plan ahead. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I dropped mine in with a cherry picker on jack stands, installed bmr k member on the ground. It really isnt bad at all going in from the top but I would suggest an extra set of hands just to maneuver it in place.

Thanks, I'll have my dad helping me I thought I seen a thread somewhere where the car was on jack stands and they lifted it with a cherry picker from the front by bumper support and lowered it onto k member
