Does anyone have any good ideas for places to find a engine stand and engine hoist/cherry picker/whatever. I need them for some projects and I think its about time I bought my own :thumbsup

Thanks

This doesn't seem like too bad of a deal.

The $199 hoists from Northern work great, have common
Larrin rams. I've loaned mine out to everybody without
a problem. Unable to roll a 360cid/727torquflite from a
camper in the gravel we just chained it and drug it 8'
down thru the gravel.....still ticking!

Mine has an added hole in it, #2000,1500,1000 and finaly
the new hole at extreme end says "F-body" with there
long pointy noses :)
