If you're considering doing this on jack stands, you might want to reconsider.
Yeah, I was just assuming that the guy asking for a DIY on engine removal does not have the tools or knowledge to properly attempt the project. For someone with no experience removing engines, it's going to be a pain in the a$$ even if you have the tools to lift the car off the subframe.

I did a transmission drop on jack stands with knowledgeable help. No fun. At all. I can't imagine how fun it would have been to take the engine out
