I'll just watch from a distance...
Aren't those the ones that you can heat with a lighter to increase their lift capacity?

And the JD + ratchet straps sound like the winner since I already have both.

an engine hoist [overhead] and basic knowledge of where to bolt the chains/cables/straps OR 4 healthy buddies can lift it on to a wheeled dolly or whatever you need to put it on

I had a feeling when this thread popped up....feeling was confirmed. Right advice was dispatched on Page 1, Slakker. It was repeated on this page.

4? What kind of nancies do you hang out with? A 3.6 only weights 450 pounds. Stephen Hawking and 4 buddies could manage it.

For the newer folk, that's Kalash carting a tip tranny that would eventually end up in the other KK's 996, and then sadly fail.

Steven Hawking, brain surgery, a horse, trannies, hydrogen balloons, shirtless-Kalash-with-the-Tip-on-a-trolley ... this thread packed a lot into a few pages. It's this kind of teamwork that makes Rennlist special.

Everyone gets orange slices and a trophy.
