Andy, I'd love to have a bridge crane. If you have a link to that previous post I'd appreciate it. I did a search before posting here, but missed that somehow. Thanks to all who mentioned 2x4s and rachet straps. My hemi and trans weigh roughly 900lbs. I have a 4 post lift. I plan to disconnect the headers, lift the engine, and swap from Schumacher mounts to Aruzza mounts. Looks like doing it from the bottom is easier. Not trusting my arms and hands to 2x4s with an engine hanging above them, and the steel beam I gave away years ago cost more than an engine support bar does today. I appreciate the help folks. Seriously!
