RE: Engine Hoist

If you live in a populated area, you should be able to rent a hoist ($30?). There are a ton of equipment rental places around here, but Chicago is just a little populated. Sometimes the U-Haul or truck rental places have equipment for rent. If its going to take days, you might want to consider the buy/sell that the others recommended.
