Please don't waste your money! All you need is a good floor jack. I actually got mine at harbor freight ~$100. As long as I know to release it very slowly it performs well.

I made and 'engine cradle' out of spare 2x6 (I think) wood... one long piece and two short ones at each end. The short ones are grooved out to match bits of the case as needed. They also leave a large open space in the middle where my sump plate goes so that the sump takes no load.

The wood has two marks on it: one for engine only and one for engine and tranny. This is where to put the jack so everything is balanced when you are pulling it out.

Enjoy!
