Just as an option....but you need 3 people....2 hold it while the 3rd loosens the bolts then lower the block so you can get to the adapter without too much struggle and tighten the bolts (u can also flip the motor and raise it with manpower)...it'll still be tight but it canbe done...definitely go buy a picker though, harbor frieght is cheap enough...

Harbor Freight is cheap but you get what you pay for. I got my hoist there and if I would lift the engine 3" off the floor, within 10 minutes it was sitting on the oil pan. They work for the occasional engine pull/install.
