Best Way to Hoist an Engine

I use the engine levelers and drop the engine and trans in at the same time.

You can have the engine all the way up to the intake and no exhaust (hang headers while dropping engine if needed).

Here's some step by step pictures of when we pulled the engine out of my son's Challenger last fall.


Lift the engine level to get off of engine and trans mounts:

Then pull it forward to just before the radiator support:

Now tilt it as much as you can to get it over the radiator support:

Here's the tight spot to get the oil pan hump over the radiator support:

Then get it over the radiator support and start to level it back out:
