Engine swap

really guys? I had my engine and trans out and the new engine and trans back in in less than an hour. Maybe it's because I am younger.

I'm 19 and have done countless engine swaps and the couple different shops I've worked at. You got lucky with yours, especially of you have stock motor mounts. I've had to use frame spreaders, and porta-power hydraulic jacks meant for body work to spread the frame rails. Then also take out one motor mount to get the motor into place. Then drive the other motor mount back into place with a 3 pound sledge. And thankfully I didn't have to do that while installing the tranny at the same time.
