Oh, I wouldn't try it, but I know some people have pulled some awfully
big/heavy V8s with a chain looped over only ONE rafter - but that was back
when wood was real wood...

In my hunting for rotisserie designs, I saw a picture in which  a tub was 
hung from the ceiling on comealongs to the center of the ends.  The car was 
braced to the floor when in position.   How about 4"x4"s under the pan.  How

are your ceiling joists?  In a lot of these things, you can substitute time 
for money.  Cheap mechanical advantage takes time.
