Default Anyone have an engine hoist?

Looking to get some work done on the car over spring break this up comming week, and this is the last thing thats still on the car. Anyone have one in the NW houston area they would be willing to lend me for a day? The motor is already down to the short block and I would only need it for about an hour or so on sunday. Let me know what you have.

Thanks in advance

You can do it in your garage with cement blocks, jack stands, and a hydraulic jack. Thats how I did mine. You just gotta be careful. Its really easier coming out through the bottom than through the top..

If I woulda had all the right tools when I first started, it woulda took me under 2 hours if I dont have anyone bothering me. And thats with air tools, some of thoes bolts are threaded forever and would take a while with a normal rachet.

I got one in my garage thats not being used, Feel free to borrow it for a weekend. I'm in Northeast. I was in your shoes a few weeks ago, I know how it is. At least you didn't get the wonderful sarcastic replies (yet) from some of the other lifeless browsers. lemme know man if you need it.
