disconnect all fuel and electrical lines and such things,take out the starter,hook up the cherry picker to the engine,unbolt the engine from transmission,add tension to the cherry picker,unbolt the motor mounts,put a block under the tranny and jack the tranny 1 or 2 times then jack the engine one or two times till the tranny is all the way up,then slide the engine out an put it on the engine stand.Did I forget anything?I always tape a big garbage bag over the bellhousing so I don't end up with a bunch of dirt/sand/dust/crap in there.Most importantly have fun and take your time.
