hello guys im looking at taking my engine out soon as i may have a buyer for it,

whats the best way to take it out as i know theres a way where you can drop the engine to the floor slowly lol and lift the shell over it, is this true and is this the easiest way to do it or would i be better in hiring/buying a engine crane?

any help or guide to doing this would be grateful cheers

should be a mounting point on the exhaust manifold as they use this when they do clutches, and there should also be one round the back of the engine
