What do we think to this for lifting engines? Cheaper than renting an engine crane for the weekend!

Yes, seen it now - didn't see the original until I'd done mine, looks like it may be worth a Punt

Mine is mounted on the roof structure of the shed.

If I use a sling on it, I can lift the front of the car.

Much quicker than using a jack.

Just lift it up then stick axle stands in.

No good if you have a Pinto engine though.
And he ducks for cover.

Thankfully I've taken the head off so that halved its weight.
