I can do it in 2 minutes with a Sawzall and a tow truck

Unbolt the front motor mounts and trans crossmembers from the chassis, pull up, cut as needed until the engine is out. Going back in is trickier though

How many people pull engines with transmissions? I always yank with the tranny attached. I helped DJCHunter put his engine back in and he had left the transmission in the car, holy crap that took forever.

I have a video from Japan of a guy (I think it was Mr. Amemiya of RE Amemiya fame) pull one (stock everything still under the hood) in 26 minutes BY HIMSELF. He had a guy help him get the hood off, but that was it.
