My girlfriends dad works on forklifts and he said they use it to pull her brothers engine in his race car(86 Iroc). Does anyone see a problem with using a forklit to act as a engine hoist?

It would be easier with an engine hoist, and if you have access to a load leveler it will be even better so that you can tilt the engine once it's pulled forward and come out more smoothly

Can someone be a little more specific as to the criteria of a good engine hoist? I have access to two and I do not know what to look for.
Are there any brands/styles that are better than others, in terms of flexability and manuverability?
Are there any specific characteristics of a "good" one versus a "not so good" one?
Probably a stupid question but I figured I'd ask.

Now reading what u said about having a forklift and using that, i would go from underneath.....use the forklift to lift the body and drop the motor on the k-member and roll it out on the front tires....That would be the easiest way with a forklift.
