Default Engine Hoist

So after running a compression test and having my budget turned upside down, I have come to the conclusion that I need to get the engine out of my SCCA rx7 racecar for a rebuild (and then some).......Don't wanna hear the rotary reliability jokes Alex.

Does anybody around have an engine hoist I can borrow for an afternoon? I have a pickup truck and can pick it up and return it anywhere.

Thanks!

That would suggest that there was an actual completion date in sight...

You're welcome to borrow mine. I've sent you a PM with my contact information. I'll warn you - it's pretty heavy and awkward, but did a great job on getting the engine out of a project Miata.
