I've pulled and reinstalled engines in Tigers on two separate occasions. Both
times I dropped the crossmember , hoisted body up and lowered engine in the
manner Owain has suggested. Never an issue... installed with headers attached
in same manner. Tight (like everything on a Tiger) but very do-able. In fact,
did it both times solo (although it would have been nice to have help at times).

wouldn't it be easier to remove the crossmember, jack-up/hang the body
and drop the engine/trans onto a sturdy crawler?
