I am having a real problem uploading pictures....the 100,000byte limit gets hit and at that resolution the pictures are crap. Funny the first picture came up fine but I tried to upload another that was larger than 2Mbytes...mabye I have been flagged as a "bad user"?

Anyways I have a steel I beam running across my shop. I simply put a 4x4 in the engine bay across the rear left and right frame rails and lift the rear of the car using a come-a-long mounted on a rolling hanger on the I-beam. So I drop the engine down onto the rolling stand, hook the rear of the car body onto the I beam, lift the rear of the car waaaaay up and pull the engine out.

I have hear of people using a cherry picker to lift the car rear up...no comment since I have not tried that.

Before I used this method I used a few 2x8's across the body just in front (towards the nose of the car) of the shift linkage and lifter the body up using a jack. I had to do it in phases like you because the jack's lift was too small. I do have a very large 3 ton jack that I use for the lift.

Cheers,

Mike
