We are in the same boat! Just installed my remanufactured engine last week. I did it myself, and actually, wasn't that bad of a job! Not sure why they had to remove the axle or mess with the brakes? I think that vid with the body coming off is a bit extreme. I pulled my engine only out the top! The good thing about doing this myself is, like you, I swapped everything off the old engine ( sensors, brackets, valve covers, ect) to put on the new engine, but not before completely cleaning, and in many cases painting the pieces going back on the new engine. Also cleaned out the plenum to shiney new condition. Yeah, all that took time, but the end result looks really nice in the engine bay! Congrats to you on the new heart, and many wishes for many carefree miles ahead for you!
