My forks are 5 feet. I can drive the forklift up close say 5 inches to the truck and with the end attachment it works fine. I have a skytrak but its more work to maneuver the big thing into position. Easier with the basic forklift. The fork end attachment came from the skytrak.

I do it with a forklift. You can use a big a frame and chain hoist. I have an attachment that clamps on the fork ends I chain the engine to it. Years ago befor I had a forklift I would have the engine ready to pull and call a local tow truck company with the older style boom wrecker to come down...

I have not swapped one but have removed both, I believe you could pull one out and put the other one in and all the connections would be the same.

I have reasonably priced motors 225 and 290 hp

I will have a 1078 engine coming in a few weeks at a reasonable price. I have never shipped one though, buyers usually pick them up. It would have to go on its side (angled on wood) on a pallet.

But you are back in the risk game buying another truck. Which may actually be the easiest way to go. Straight engine swap in a lmtv isnt too bad if you do go that route.

The cat motors are worth what they are worth. Theres no super unbelievable deals on them unfortunately.

I have a 1078 engine it has one bad injector sleeve but runs. Nothing cat is cheap and its not a sleeved engine I dont know if you can just take your pistons out and drop them into another block.
