Would be best to have an FSM before you even started thinking about
doing a swap.

You're supposed to lift the engine from the bottom, not pull it from the
top.

An FSM.  Have you looked at SE-R.net?

That's the way Nissan intended it.  You have to get the car very high,
something like 36" from the bumper to the ground.  How do you do this?
Very carefully, I assume.  Several LMs have done it this way.  It's best
to have a two-post lift, but I don't suppose the odds of you having one
of those in your garage are any better than the odds of *me* having one.
:)  You *can* do it from the top, but I'd rather assume that using a
hoist is the last option.

Hit SE-R.net, Sentra.net, and sniff around at SR20DEForum.com.  Lots of
useful information on swaps in those places.
