The stars aligned tonight. Mars, Jupiter, Venus, and the moon. It's February 25 and 70 degrees. And somehow I'm inclined to work on the 914 tomorrow.
Question. By myself, I need to move the 2.0 motor from the floor up onto a furniture dolly so I can get it from storage to the garage and to the car and I don't want a hernia. It's on the ground. I'm thinking of a home made engine lift. Bolting about a 12' 2x4 to the pivoting head on a engine stand - making a lever on the pivot point of the stand. Then using 1" web straps in an X around the motor, lift it up and onto the dolly. ?? 1. Will a 2x4 on edge be strong enough to make the lift? ?? 2. will the web straps around the motor be strong enough to make the lift? ?? 3. will the straps around the motor be OK without bending or breaking anything? ?? 4. Other Suggestions? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |
