I'd suggest a couple ratchet straps secured to something solid, like an overhead beam.
Rig the straps in such a way that one of them threads thru the frame opening while the other supports the weight, then manuever the engine into the opening one ratchet click at a time. You'll probly have to remove the carbs to have enuf elbow room. On Jun 15, 1:15 pm, Matthew Webb <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm in the middle of replacing my engine on my '92 nh.
