looking to buy a engine hoist since i gave mine away last year lol... anyone works idc how new or old it is as long as the cylinder does not leak & holds

 

lol, this was me last wknd. got tired of bullshitters and the hassle of borrowing them, so i just picked one up.

dont kno what you tryna spend...but i just picked up a 2 ton @ Harbor Freight Tools on sale for 170.00....looks like you just missed that sale, but i just seen this...truthfully, i shoulda waited fot this: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=93840 check it out. and g/l homie

 

harbor freight ftw

 

up, don't really want a new one since i'll only need it to do 2 swaps. i'm sure someone has one they dont need ;P If not it's jack & blocks to raise the car up 4 feet again!

 

new and your own = a long term investment & no hassle


...but if you want to do it the "safe" way...gl with that homie!

 

I've got one. $100 comes with a used once engine leveler. used the hoist 2 weekends ago and it worked flawless. PM me for details.

 

You know what they say about opinions right?

The way I do it is just as "safe" as using a cherry picker. It's quite simple. I jack the car up & unbolt everything. When it's time for the mounts I use a transmission jack to hold the engine. After so I take my ordinary jacks & put the "blocks" that I fabricated that lock around the head of the jack that give more stroke. I have two sized blocks to achieve the height needed. Yeah the "blocks" I made function perfectly fine, were made out of 1/4 wall sq tube w/ standard a36 3/6 plate & dual shielded but... it's a lot more of a pain in the *** to do.

But... Seeing the things bought/sold on here, something like an buying an engine hoist on car forums just made perfect sense.
