Just so's ya know's I pulled the engine from a Dodge Champ (My Daughters) 
with a fork lift and if I ever have to do it again I'd use a forklift 
over a block and tackle. "Course that requires a helper to run the fork 
lift (make sure he/she knows how to work one). I put it back with the 
same fork lift mostly by my self. (The SU helped guide a little)
