Here's some tables that show load weight based on size/span. http://www.raisedfloorliving.com/spantables-1.shtml But in a word, don't do it. Buy an engine stand and rent a lift (because you will not use the lift for more than a couple of hours at a time, but your engine might sit outside of your car for a good period). Being able to position your lift while you're lifting is a big deal. |
