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...

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.
