true !!!however how many people have an engine hoist that big and strong? :y apart from me??
 with a std hoist you may struggle to lift the engine and box high enough, plus leaving the front wheels on the ground and thr rears up means you dont need quite so much lift!! horses for courses etc

I actually think this is a good method.I rather like the Heath Robinson approach. I used it to get my gear box back in but weding long bars and levering it gradually upwards. Thanks for that one,it goes in my book of 'Useless information for anyone other than car enthusiasts'.  :y
