I have to agree, I bought this same one to hold up my Supra engine for several months while I sorted it, it was fine considering the size of that engine.
It was once said that the Devil would never dare to cross the River Tamar into Cornwall for fear of ending up as a filling in a Cornish Pasty.

Hi,
I bought one of these...

I have lifted several engines with this ( mainly 2.2's ) :lol:

But was pretty good from eBay.. for the money.

Ask colley as he's got mine and that lifts everything and to a good height too. I think its in one of his posts about the 2.8 in to a b series.
If it ain't broke, fix it before it does!! You know it will!!
