I agree with Chicagowil about needing a good heavy duty hoist with a long reach and high capacity. Years ago I pulled a 427/4 speed altogether out of my 66 Corvette from the front and it was all it could do to reach it and snatch it out from the front. And this motor had aluminum heads and intake so not especially heavy. Had to clear everything out in front of the motor including the radiator support.
