I had my engine out years ago the portable engine hoist even when extended usually are too short from the front and the cars front wheel are in the way from the side. I ended up using my (Swing set style) hoist that I built 53 years ago of heavy walled pipe and added reinforcement, It was too short I had to put the legs up on concrete blocks. The engine goes in and out with out headers, no bell housing or clutch, and transmission siting in tunnel tucked back on the rear rear ( yes I did say rear rear) cross member. It took days to get everything connected. Headers have 14 stage eight header bolts longer length Chevy. (1/4" longer) bolts per side. Old black and white pictures of original Shelby shop , engines were installed while car was backed up an incline nose down. I recommend an over head hoist, sling balancer and every one you can get to help. You'll have to throttle the beer until your almost done.
