    Harbor Freight is blowing out these Gantrys for $180 (picked mine up last weekend). For me, it has made engine replacement much easier than the floor jack method. Back saver!

    The width on this one is 7' 10"

    I just bought a hydraulic table. I scoot the engine onto it and raise it up to working height, or lower it to install.

    Ummm...I haven't had any problems with the floor jack method. If it's available I'll use my ATV jack (currently has a CX motor sitting on it :ninja:). I could see how this would be useful in lieu of a cherry picker though.
