[Tigers] Fw: motor placement from down under

[DJoh797014 at aol.com]

By all means I would use a lifting plate if I had access to one.  JC  Whitney 
sells a
device that lets you adjust the angle when lifting  Al I had was  chains 
attached
to the manifold bolts and small hydraulic jack with wheels under the  trans.
By that was 26 years ago.  Has it been that long?  I may be  getting old.
 
I should have added that while the engine crane is attached, install  the
exhaust manifold (or headers) and starter.

Dave and  All- While respecting Dave to the max and know his Beam knowledge 
is in the  top percentile. I have to say that using the lift plate mounted to 
the intake  fixes the bottle jack under the trans. The plate has three lifting 
holes which  allows the engine/tranny to be lifted level or tilted either 
direction while  allowing the ability to lift the front or push down as well. It 
makes  reinstalling the engine/trans from the top or the bottom a much easier 
task.  Someone posted a url of the lift plate some months back and although 
mine is  homade, using an orginal as a template, I cant imangine using any other 
tool  to RandR any engine or engine and tranny, no matter what model auto and  
especially the Tiger. It doesnt work on a 1725 Alpine engine but anything 
with  an intake becomes much  easier.
