Looking good Dozer!!
I hang a chain under my lift and raise the engine/transmission, then role the frame under it.
Makes for an easy install.
 
I've run into the boom-too-long to balance right thing. Ended up putting a big weight on the back of the engine crane to counterbalance the over extended boom. U think it was a couple 235 heads or something like that. The first engine crane I built ended up nose heavy (or light in the rear) because I got the back-lean angle on the upright wrong. Its all about balance.

Thanks Pops, that a good idea, put a beam across the two ramps with a chain under it.

I have thought about extending things, but then I start to wonder were I may start leaking blood from when it goes wrong:eek:

My mother would say, "Use your head... it's that lump on top of your shoulders." :eek: :D

The best laid plans... The chassis and drive line looks very nice.

Today I went to break in the cam in my Anglia. Ran for 15 minutes, the fuse for the fan blew and it overheated. End of story for now.

Ya S%&T happens I guess.
 
Some of my parts arrived, The Edlebrock 1906 is installed. The Mopar alternator didn't sound good and was externally regulated,a replacement one wire version is $280. Cdn so I went out to the boat parts shed and found a new Mercruiser 65 amp alt. Build some brackets to locate it and mounted and wired it. Waiting for the fuel pump to arrive so I can fire it up again.

Got the rear suspension bump stops built and installed, I used the end shaft protector ends for a boater trailer roller along with some poly cutting board spacer discs cut from Walmart cutting boards, these cutting boards go on sale really cheap and com in handy for all kinds of uses they make great license plate backers on trailers and such. I have a couple videos up loading.
