I've lifted plenty of inline engines with my crane, but never a Type IV, or any other flat engine. I need to do this to load it into a truck for shipping. I was thinking of making a sling out of webbing, or something similar. Anyone have any comments?

I also welded a bar across an olr rear bumper...you can then lift up the whole rear of the car, pretty high too!!

Can you lift the back of a 914 with an engine crane without modifying the bumper? I'm always looking for new uses for my crane. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)
