Hi,
Does anyone knows of an engine hoist rental place in Loudon County?. I maybe dropping the SC engine in March and may not have a lot of strong Dorkis around to lift the engine up. I am thinking about the engine hoist bar that Paul Wilding is selling on ebay. Thanks. Andy

Check Home Depot too, they have one at the store near me.

I will be living in Loudon by then and am not the weakest man to ever walk the earth... I am sure if you set the date people will come and eat donuts and drink beer at the very least....

Just don't schedule it for track weekend.

I can vouch for Bill he is not the weakest but he is just about the clumsiest. Be sure he has his hard hat on and that there are no small objects or cracks in the pavement that he could trip on.

Al kidding aside, it only takes two people to lift a 911 motor onto a stand. After motor lowered to the ground from the car mount the yoke onto the motor, tilt the stand over and slide the stand onto the yoke. Now lift the motor up and the stand will right itself. This way you don't have to hold up a motor while aiming the end of a yoke into the stand.

Four Dorki's lifted, one held the engine stand and about 10 supervised. Post a note when you are going to do the drop and then be prepared to be invaded. Be nice if you had coffee, fat pills or a beer or two if later. Some of these guys don't begin drinking until after 9:30AM.
