No need for a hoist, easier with a jack and a few blocks of wood. I would hate to crawl under, disconnect mount, crawl out, hoist up, crawl under, opps not high enough yet, crawl out, hoist up, crawl under, opps too high, crawl out, let er down etc etc. Then... to install the new one...up, down, up, down, opps not right yet. Then after all that do the other side. It's almost impossible with a hoist unless you have a very very trustworthy assistant.

You would have much better control of the whole procedure with a jack. Just jack up one side at a time by placing wood block under the point where the oil pan meets the the block, very easy.

A caution though, be very carefull whether using jack or hoist to make sure the engine cannot slip and fall, ouch, crushed wrists and hands, very nasty. I used back up blocks wedged in above the crossmember to be safe.
