I am only of slight build, and advancing years. I can lift A7 engine out complete with manifolds and dynamo. I have a very sturdy wooden box the same height as the front of the chassis, so I can slide the engine out over the chassis without too much lifting. I fit a "t" bar into no3 plug hole, to use as the main lifting point. Once the engine is just clear of the gearbox, it needs to be the lifted and tipped to the left[drivers side] until the sump plug clears the chassis rail'
When replacing the engine, a thin tyre lever placed under the gearbox and resting on the radius arms will hold the gear box exactly the right height for the engine to slide in.
