So, how robust is your engine crane?
Mine's rather beefy. Attach file: 2006-02-16 23-01-12_0009.JPG (0.00 KB) 2006-02-16 22-36-57_0004.JPG (0.00 KB) 2006-02-16 22-34-24_0001.JPG (0.00 KB) |

That's a LARGE hoist! Mine is pretty standard, but still does the jobs I need done.

BS, Bill. That's all smoke and mirrors. Besides, the car doesn't weight much when you take all the pieces out including the engine and drivetrain

Yea, much better lifting bodies compared to using 6 guys. The nice thing about this one is that it has a flow/pressure valve, takes 15 pumps to get it from stowed to horizonal, changes to pressure when it hits the load. And the mast/cylinder can rotate 30 degrees wothout moving the legs. |

Good point Bill; besides, I don't have 6 guys who like me well enough to help. Not even a 12-pack of donuts or case of beer helps. Steve |
