Anyone have an engine crane?

Like the title says...

I may need to pull an engine and could use a hoist. Anyone have one? I'd love to borrow it for a few days.

I do. I haven't been able to find my load leveler for a while though. Do you need both? When did you want to borrow?

[hoveringuy]

No time frame yet. There's a guy that has an 85k M54 with 5spd, but it's in the car and I'd have to pull.

I've never used a load leveler to pull (or install) a motor. I only use the front loop on the motor and it hangs at the right angle. When installing I'll catch the tranny on a jack on level it that way.

Steve,

You can borrow mine after this week.

I've got one with a load leveler in Portland. Bit of a drive, but you can keep it as long as you need.
