Re: '96 2.4L engine replacement

Motor should swap without a problem. It comes out the bottom of the car, there really isn't enough room to pull it out the top of the car. Unbolt everything, use the engine hoist to lift the front of the car up and over the motor, then drag it out. Take it out with the trans attached, that way all you have to disconnect is the motor mounts, brakes, struts at the towers, tie rod ends, coolant lines, electrical, and exhaust. It's much easier than trying to wiggle it out of the top of the car as the top of the strut towers are about the same width as the motor itself. Good luck.
