buy a hoist?

[luke91]

I would say buy one.  

The one I used, I bought from Advance Auto.  It cost me $150, and folds up nicely to take up less space.  Plus, you never know when you can rent it out to a freind, or someone else that is doing a swap.  Once you do your swap, you can charge to do swaps for people, and you'll have it for that.  Also, if you plan on painting your engine bay, working on the motor while it's out of the car, or selling your old motor, you'll need a hoist for all of that, too.  

Also, buy these, too:

Welder
Angle grinder and cut-off wheels
Bench vice
Metal files

You'll be surprised how frequently you'll need them.
