Engine and gearbox - how hard to fit to car?

[DesertMK4]

I used 4 friends. One on hoist, one on leveler bat, two at sides, me all over the place. I lowered the front end of car so didn't exceed lift height and reach of hoist.. Rent or harbour freight. Must have screw type leveler bar. Cover parts you don't want dinged up (frame, tunnel front lip, etc.) Be prepared to stop and rethink or adjust. Have beer handy. Install was the hardest thing physically you have to do. I put motor mounts on engine, but loose so they can wiggle.

Thanks all for the advice.
It's nice to have options
It will be another month or so before I'll fit the engine and trans. I'll post pics.

Cheers,
Glen

Jim - it's cold in the garage. It's wet outside. It's Sunday.
