Technical Engine swap
I did a swap by lifting the car away from the engine rather than lift the engine into the car.

sounds like rally cinq disconnect the engine and hoisted the car up so th engine came out easily.
best way is lifting the car up and placing it underneath and hoisting it from there (in my opinion)

No No, I supported the car on axle stands and undid all the ancilliaries. Once they were all off, I lowered the front of the car until the engine was resting on a small pallet on the ground.
I then undid the three mounting bolts and jacked up the body leaving the engine, and box, on the pallet. It was then simple to pull the pallet forward out of the way to split the donk 'n' box.

I think you'll need to raise the sheet of wood off the ground to support the engine to allow enough slack to get the mounts undone.

must be the way i explain things engine hoist makes things easy, especially if it is a tripod one as you can lift the whole front end with it
