Will that be good enough to pull the engine out?

Cheers

Custom,

I certainly know that a mate of mine uses a very similar version to this, which works fine with subaru's. Ask Pavlo, i think they used it to pull an engine out of his once?

It sais 1 ton, and the engine certainly doesnt weigh that

Not unless the engine you pulling out weighs more than a ton?

A 1 ton crane would be sufficient for a scooby engine, but dont forget about the lifting strops you will need to attatch it to, the hook wont simply lift on the inlet manifold, as a reminder, you will need a trolley jack also, so you can support the gearbox whilst removing and also on refitting, it helps to keep the box in line with the engine on refit.

Nice one thanks guys

Take care!
A new hoist like this will do the job well, if it is a bit knackered it will drop on you as a hired one did on me with the 911 engine/box on it (well less than 1000kg)
They are not so expensive from Machine Mart, delivered and with a (limb saving) warranty. Invest and be sure....
