Where can I buy an engine hoist that I can pick up?
I'm going to need an engine hoist, and I'd like to get one locally (somewhere near Long Island or NYC) so I don't have to pay for shipping and wait for it. The one that Sears has is only 1 ton and I'd like a 2 ton one, where should I be looking for it?

It's going to have to be able to support Ford V8s as well as the 944 engine.

Well, I was hoping to stay away from the cheapos, but it looks like I might have to get one from Pep Boys. Unfortunately no Northern Tool anywhere near NY.

No, but the higher the limit the further the reach can be and yet still lift an engine.
