Engine lift - Recommended tools and such. Any advice for the novice? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

71 C-10 402 A/T.

I lifted an engine once. It was this truck in 1993. The tools were my buddy's and he led the R/R. This time I'm on my own...

Can anyone recommend a hoist and stand? I don't have any beams for hanging, but sure wish I did. This may be the one time I ever lift an engine, and space is at a premium. But a junk hoist and stand I can do without. I'm real green, and couldn't even tell you if one stand fits all.

Any suggestions for hardware used to lift the engine and placement, whether it be the manifold, heads or block? Other suggestions appreciated as well.
