probably has never been truer words spoken

yeah i was wondering how that deal turned out

on a side note, I was just leaving harbor frieght when my wife's boss called, she told me to come get my wife, they sent her and several others home for the day. All having very bad, painful reactions to the Covid shot number 2 they all got yesterday afternoon. Hot and cold chills, muscles spasms and several pain on the injection arms. Supposedly "normal" but my wife says the pain hurts almost as bad as childbirth.

One thing that would have made it easier- The cart I made to sit engine on didn't quite fit between inside the hoist legs... Would have helped if it could straddle maybe a foot

The second vaccine is the worst as far as reaction it seems. I don't think it is stronger or any different than the first. I should check.

Just thinking... you may need even more straddle. I have the chains around the bumper shocks. Don’t F up your bumper, but grab as far out as you can to keep hoist out of the way. Best would be overhead lift point an avoid it all together. Then its easier to move the engine into position. By the way- Did it myself

I am thinking using portable scaffolding with a chain hoist to lift car.....

If it can handle the weight... Most of the front end weight is in the engine and front suspension, so not a lot.

I actually lifted the front of car, sans engine, trans, suspension, by hand.
