Reply to "Seeking Experienced Advice Concerning Engine Hoists"

If you are pulling the engine and transaxle at the same time, you better ensure that you have long legs (forward of the engine CG) on your hoist. Most of the $200 Harbor Freight engine hoists don't have enough length on the legs to ensure the stand won't tip forward....

It is a very long reach from the back of the car to the engine / transaxle balance point (which is about 4-6" forward of the front of the front of bellhousing).

That wouldn't be so bad except you have about 2' of car (the back of the vehicle) that forces your hoist to be fully extended.... (which OBTW puts you right about at the limit of hoist capability (~1000 lbs)….
