Pretty soon (next month or so) I will need to swap two engines between 2 cars, does anyone here know a place that can do this cheap? I would try to do it myself except for my lack of a crane/tripod and the appropriate tools. Its a piss easy job, a straight swap between a 1.8L and a 2L.

You can buy a ratchet cable lifting tool for $305, I brought one and it's rated to maybe 2 or 3 tons? You can get two alloy ladders and some wood going across if you don't have a garage or anything.

Even chain blocks are pretty cheap too, like $100?
