Re: changing an engine
Judging by your technical knowledge, your better off buying an engine crane because you will not finish this job in two days.
Standard transmissions require a pilot bearing or bushing in the crankshaft whereas an automatic will not. If your new engine is an automatic, then you will need a new bearing or bushing.
The clutch pressure plate will be held on with 6 or 8 bolts, and you want to remove them equally 5 turns or so at a time so the springs are released equally. When installing the clutch pressure plate on the new engine, you will need a clutch alignment tool to ensure that the disc is in the center. Without centering the disc, the splines will not mate up with your tranmission input shaft and you will not be able to mate the transmission up to the engine.
I'd recommend finding a friend with some automotive experience/knowledge to help you with this task, because its a big one.
