Jason Title: Re: engine lifting tool Post by: mcl1959 on February 09, 2011, 08:09:59 PM I have a genuine COXHEAD grey engine lifter for sale ($200). Philby has the first right of refusal. This one is made of 20 mm thick steel , which looks like it is machined at the ends to fit around the manifold.

This sounds like an improved version with some good points. But like they all say a picture is worth a thousand words, so when you can i'm sure everyone would like to see it ;) Cheers Stewy 8) Title: Re: engine lifting tool Post by: OldGMHolden on February 10, 2011, 10:59:28 AM Hi All,
I saw one of these a while ago at a tool show. Ebay Item #300523985240 So far I don't need one myself, but if I ever have to pull the engine out again, I will definitely be buying one. You can bolt it on to the engine anywhere you like, or sling it with rope, webbing, or whatever. Maybe not for everybody, but I thought it was just magic.
