I know you can use a furniture dolly to remove the engine (I've used that method twice). However, I would prefer to have something a little better for the next time.
Last thread I could find was 2010 so figured was time to ask if anything new was available. Harbor Freight (as well as Northern Tool and other vendors) has several different jacks that may work. Since I prefer to lift the car up in the air and lower the engine with a jack, one of these may work. Does anyone have experience with these?

Getting a lift involves about a US$1M investment (buy a house) and whilst I'm looking, it's not an immediate option. Hence being interested in the alternatives. 8)
Rhody - Jim is talking about the SBC, where the distributor sticks up a very long way... |

Hence being interested in the alternatives. 8) Rhody - Jim is talking about the SBC, where the distributor sticks up a very long way... Two solid floor jacks, high lift, and a dolly. I can still get it out in under and hour, and there is very little drama... Though the part that is starting to suck is the up down up down to get all the tools I forgot to grab the first five times, and the concrete floor. |

Pulled my passenger seat in the BMW to fix the power seat cables. I think I spent more time going back and forth for tools than doing the actual work. That will wear you out! |
