In my elderly garage I have 2x8 rafters. I need to pull motors with a chain fall or come-a-long. I know a single 2x8 wont stand the gaff. If I scab on some more 2x's it will strengthen the beam, but

Skip, In my opinion, the answer is to buy an engine crane. You can get a very nice 2Ton one for under $200. At my dad's, we put up 3 2x8's sistered together and set them on top of a 3 vertical 2x8's

Don't the rafters sit on top of the walls? They usually do. If not, you may be able to install joist hangers around each end of the beam where it meets the end wall. Go ahead and double up the rafter

Wood is strongest in compression, and the top plates in the wall should spread the load across 2 or 3 studs ... most likely you won't have a problem. I've pulled motors in my garage, after scabbing

I've pulled engines both with a crane and a chain fall. I'll never use a chain fall again. On just about everything I've ever seen, the engine has to come forward (or sideways, or back, or all three)

I have a folding engine hoist from Norther Tool, came with an engine stand for under $200. I had 2 problems pulling the engine out of my 1980 Camaro. First, the forward end of the horizontal supports

I've always had my cars up on jack stands so that I had access to engine mounts, exhaust pipes, etc. so it has never been a problem for me. My "2 ton" engine hoist has an extendable boom, so I can sl
