- Get the floor hoist, you'll be glad you did. I bought a fold-up model at Sam's Club for less than $240. When you aren't using it, just remove a couple of bolts and raise the long front legs to a vert

- I second the motion on the SAMS floor hoist. Very capable, not as big of a storage problem as I thought, and now I can lift just about anything! Try British Parts Northwest, The Roadster Factory, or

- Another advantage of the floor hoist is the maneuverability. The engine is not just hanging from the ceiling like a pendulum, you can move it back, forward, left, right with little effort and it will

- For what its worth, for years I have used a 4x6 and have it laid across the rafters over my garage and have had no problems. It is just laying up there without any fastening. I use a chain wrapped a

- I'd like to put in a steel I-beam with one of those little trolly cars to hook up my winch. Then I could move it sideways whilst I rolled the car fore-and-aft (won't work with a Europa, though). Even

- When in doubt pull out the McMaster Carr catalog. On page 919 they have bridge crane kits. You supply the I beams, they sell the end trucks and trolleys. $500 - $900 depending on capacity. Unless yo

- I second the advantages of the A-frame approach - although you don't need to go to such massive structures. For years I used what I call an I-frame [same as an A-frame except the single vertical side
