Hello and welcome!  To take the engine out, remove the bumper, the grill and the panel just below the grill and raise the front end.  Engine removal was designed for it come down and forward.  Much more difficult to remove from inside but it is possible and has been done.

Open the front, remove the manifolds and use a stable engine crane:
