Howdy,

I used an atv hoist to doing a Subaru swap: Craftsman Motorcycle/ATV Jack

http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00950190000P?vName=Automotive&keyword=atv

The rear of the van needs be jacked high enough to roll the engine in/out.

I'm in Mtn View, CA if anyone wants to borrow the jack.

Joel
