Much depends on how your "engine fails". Many repair don't require pulling the motor. You can get the head off in place after removing the intake plenum & do valve/cam work. Head off, you can jack it up enough in place to remove the oil pan & do most piston/rod work.

If you "have to remove it....it come out the front" using a shop crane/floor hoist/lift arm.
