im going back to break everything down into more details with more detailed pics, as far as holding on to the engine i just use two floor jacks, then 2 towers i guess they're called to hold on to the car. ive done it this way with a 93 mx-3, 97 eclipse, and celica. i am by no means saying this is the safe way to go, this is just the only way i that i know how to do it w/o a lift. if someone would like to help me with this part please do.

we should get one solid copy for all to edit and adjust

I have put a motor in my car and changed a tranny in another celica and it is not as time consuming and hard as you think.

I could probably tell you what bolts you need to take out and what size they are.

if you have a lift so that the car is over ur head than it wont be too hard because things can be seen clearly and have the freedom to move around with no problems, and with experience of course it wont be as time consuming. but for someone with no experience im sure it can turn into a nightmare. after i finish ill put up a copy so that it could be double checked and edited.
the motor i did with a lift and the tranny without

the majority of the work is done from the top
