I have also lifted out these engines with nothing but a pipe and two guys 
muscle power, and though it can be done, it's not easy to deal with anything

that goes wrong when you're holding up your end of 300 or so lbs. So lifting

it with some kind of hoist is a much more orderly and much less hazardous 
approach.

Gee Tom.  You make it sound easy.  I seem to remember a hell of a lot of
cursing/groaning, and a steady rain while we were doing that.  I certainly
wouldn't do it again.  The come-along was a much easier method.

PS:  I never actually got that engine.  I faxed him about 10 times,  but it
seems they semi-permanantly moved to Vermont shortly after we stripped the
'75.  I'd love to get that Bugeye he had in the garage....
