Jesse, removing the rear crash bar is only 4 bolts and gives you a lot more room. The rear crossember is also only 4 bolts. Last, you can drop the engine onto a furniture dolly or even a piece of cardboard to reduce the need to lift the car very much. Doing this eliminates the need for a hoist (what your refer to as a crane) at all…you can use a transverse engine support bar and lower the engine and tranny using ratchet straps or a floor jack. Orienting the engine longitudinally allows it to slide ride out the back with the car just above normal ride height. Much safer than lifting the car.

i do not understand why some people change the 2zzge with k20. has nothing to jealous of him, except if you go for dragster! there yes! It has other solutions but it is also more expensive! afterward with oil pan and oil sump you can tear the 2zzge without any fear, both very reliable and good engines (I also have ep3 typer and corolla tsport) Anyway great video mate!

What swap mounts did you purchase for the k-swap? The map mounts utilizing the stock mounting points seem interesting.
