Motor replacement tips

[letsgohunting]

Hey all,

My yaris was involved in an unfortunate event starring a retarded driver who thought it might be hot to shift into 1st instead of 3rd whilst redlining in 2nd. As such, the motor (2nz-fe - the 1.3 version) is toast.

I need to transplant the motor myself as I can't afford to pay half the price of the car to get a mechanic to do it. I've done a few conversions before, the last being an rb20det into a non turbo/auto nissan laurel - so I'm guessing this should be too hard.

Basically I'm asking if anyone has any advice or tips regarding taking a motor/box out and putting a new one in? From what I can see it's better to take it out the bottom and lift the car over it, and from what I gather from workshop manuals, the best way to disconnect the motor and box is on the whole lower subframe before lowering it out.

Any comments or advice or tips or anything?

Greatly, greatly appreciated!
