I had an idea to modify the engine hoist, and wanted to improve on the brackets used with the leveller. A great opportunity for quality tinker time and design and build on the fly. I thought it all worked out well, I hope you agree.

That is perfect!! Not really ready to pull the engine but this is exactly how I’ll hook a houst to. My other challenge I think about is how will I mount the engine to work on I certaily don’t trust the bell housing. Thoughts??
