Calling any / all '97 Ford Escort owners with 2.0L SOHC engines and manual trans.?

Question:
Does your 2.0L engine have a " LIFTING RING " mounted anywhere on the rear of the block (trans. end) if so, where ? Clutch (and maybe the trans.) are history.. Don't have a lift so dropping the eng./ trans is out of the question.. Can get (or build ) an engine crane but have to know where to pick it up w/o tearing things all to hell.. Have also considered "converting" radiator support et.all. to a "bolt-on" front end IF I can get an adequate roll-around-jack / trans. jack under the whole assembly and un-bolt the whole eng./trans. and ROLL it out the front.. The shop manual disassembly method for a "shade-tree" mechanic is down-right stupid and dangerous !! In the end, doing it "their way " won't save any time/frustration, than taking the WHOLE eng./trans. assy. out !! Com'on, one or more of you guys/gals must have done this before, I'm wide open to suggestions.. Yeah, yeah, I know, junk it and buy a Chevy, Honda, Dodge, etc.,etc. !! YOU BUY IT & I'LL DRIVE IT !! Thanks in advance..

Answers:

How do you know when your radiator needs flushed?

Use a floor jack and a block of wood to support the engine under the oil pan.

What a good car repair shop? Please help!!?

Sorry dude, the transmission comes out the botom on that one. I am sure you could make it work, but every one i've done I had a lift to work with. If you are looking for a point to lift it from you can put a bolt on one of the holes for the engine and atttach a chain to it. but even after that i dont know how much good it will do you.
but still. i wish you luck.
