Default Help with engine swap/ swap day

I'm sure enough people on here have done swaps in the past the question is can anyone help me do mine I've seen people on here make a swap day at their house and a bunch of people come chill drink bear and swap the engine so for thoes who don't know I have my own shop I just don't swap lol but there will be an engine hoist and all the tools needed I just need some people for a guide as this engine is coming out of an ek with the swap. So I'm not setting a day yet I'm more so seeing who is willing and hopefully we can even make this a ti meet as there's plenty of room here let me know guys thanks
