I used an engine hoist/cherry picker to lower my engine onto a beefed up furniture dolly. My motorcycle lift wouldn't do the job, too much vertical interference. The good news is that the engine/trans assembly is relatively easy to get back in.
A friend suggested using a lift to lower the engine. Where do you attach to on the engine (old and new)?
