I need to put a new engine in my car, and I don't want to pay a mechanic a sh*tload of money to do it. There's a huge tool sale and they have a stand for $30 and a hoist for $130, so is this something that me and my dad could do at our house? We have all the basic tools and are both pretty good with cars, just neither one of us has ever tried anything like this on a car like this. The last time my dad tried to swap engines, he was putting a Chevy 348 into a Falcon, so it's a little different than these. So is this something that two modest mechanics should tackle, or should I just bite the bullet and pay someone?
