Mauro,
I just removed the engine from one of my cars two weeks ago in
preparation for the body shop. You really need to search all the Sunbeam
sites, I amassed quite a few articles which I then compiled into a
collection of wisdom. The short answer here is that I followed the
bottom-out technique as per Theo's suggestions. It took me about four
hours including re-installing the crossmember, I was by myself and I
took my time to document.
I used a 2 ton hoist and a transmission jack. The transmission jack is
also very handy for crossmember removal, as you can strap it on to keep
it from rotating as you unbolt it from the chassis. I set the engine
down onto a low furniture moving dolly, ran a chain between the
crossmember bolts, hoisted the body up and wheeled the engine/tranny
straight out.
