- Hey Y'all, I have finally decided to yank the engine/gear box to fit a Datson 5-spd tranny. I have been toying with the idea of renting an engine hoist, but at $45 a day, that could mount big, fast.

- I use a ratcheting hand lever crank and pulley that I bought from a local auto parts store for about $25. This one has a nylon rope but they make them with a steel cable. I attach it to a rafter in

- Forgot to copy the group. Also, forgot to say why I wouldn't use the come-along (which is the cable ratchet type of hoist, about $25). I used one quite happily until I dropped an engine, thankfully n

- All I have ever done is put a lawn timber across the engine, drape a chain over the timber and under the engine, get two people to pull and one to direct traffic, and out it comes. I did take the hea

- Just a couple of the methods we have used: 1. A come along attached to a chain suspended by ceiling rafters. 2. An old swing set modified and reinforced, and a come along. 3. Three or four stout fell
