I've been off-and-on searching for he same thing and haven't found it yet. What
I usually do is to run the front end up on 4x4's so the hoist will clear, then
put the rear up on jack stands. Gotta get under there to pull the driveshaft and
undo the tranny mount anyway. Plus it helps to have the rear higher than the
front when pulling the engine. You don't have to tip the engine at quite as
severe an angle.

I want to purchase an engine hoist.
My car sits 6": off ground (stock springs)
My buddy's car sits 5-1/2" off ground ( lowered front)
I am looking for the kind that has a "Fork Lift Blade" type tine with small
"roller pin" type casters at the end of each blade.
I've used one like that in the past but don't know what type it was.
The ones that I have found cheap $138.00 are 7-1/2" off ground with wheel
casters on the bottom of a tube.
Don't want to pull engine with car on jacks.
Any ideas where I might find a picker of this type ??
Thanks
