possible? I have an engine sitting in an engine bay, unbolted and no trans but no hoist. I need to get the engine out so I can scrap the car.

dude, your gonna need one sooner or later, especially if your gonna out thing in something else...you should have a local checkers/pepboys/O'reillys or somewhere you can rent one for cheap, maybe a friend? You can try and run a AD and see if someone can rent one to you for a day.

I would get a comealong and attach it to something in your garage, possible a plank of wood spreading the weight over multiple joists, then just lift the car up over the engine and slide it out from underneath...

hell if any of it is worth a damn cut it so it could be reused in case of a wreck

i would bolt two tires on it and cut the front of the car off and roll the engine straight out the front, put a floor jack under the center of the k-member to make rolling easier. when i started parting these i had a single car garage with a 7 foot ceiling, no hoist ever in that garage, we just pulled them straight out the front.
