Default Anybody in Seattle - Help with engine swap

Hey guys,

I know this is a long shot but.... Anyone in Seattle and would like to help me swap an engine? My 01 took a dump.. So, I just bought another running 01. The previous owner drove it into a ditch so body damage (front bumper, and right fender done) and makes a crazy clunk when turned to far. 3 amigos are present on it. Anyways, I am trying to swap the engines. I have all the tools and space, except for an engine hoist. Was hoping someone on here would have one I could use, and maybe a day or two to help me out. In return, I will give you my old engine (blown head gaskets, but still runs), and the donor truck minus the rear bumper and tail lights, plus a bunch of Corona. Its in decent condition. Could be better, could be worse. Located more specifically in Tacoma. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

i am up in king county, if you were a hair bit closer I would run down and help turn wrenches, however, for the engine hoist you can rent them from the same places you would rent tools and heavy equipment.

Thanks for the tip Friday Night Disco. I think I may have found a good engine by itself, which will make this task a bit easier
