Tools for removing engine?

[e30addict]

I have found an engine that I can use for a 2.7 liter swap in my bimmer at a local salvage yard and I can get it for pretty cheap ($100), but I have to remove it myself.

My question is; what tools will I need to remove the engine from the car?

It seemed pretty simple at first, but the salvage yard doesn't allow jacks in so I can't support the transmission. This has led me to the fact that I need to remove the engine and trans all as one unit for safety. I have looked around and asked some people and this is the list I have so far:

17mm wrench
15mm wrench
13mm swivel
14mm swivel
10mm allen head
7mm allen head
hoist


If anyone can give me a good list or clarify what I already have I would greatly appreciate it.

every engine i have pulled has been with the tranny attached. Just bring a set of wrenches and a set of sockets with some extensions. Your in a junk yard, dont be scared to try and see how much stuff you can keep on the block because who cares if you fuck stuff up. bring a hammer for clearence. last m20 i pulled i didnt mess with the bitch clip, I just took the shift knob off and pulled everything out. I probably didnt really help you i just talked out my ass for a while, good luck.
