Engine hoist ideas

I pulling the motor for a few reason to do some maintenance things to it. My question is where can Hook up to pull the motor and tranny together? I have all the accessorys off and headers where sent off to be coated. I want to change the timing seal, crank seal, and various others while I have it in a easy to get to position. Any sugguestions? I have the hoist but do I need a happy hooker attachment or is there a easier way ?

Hook up to the front and pull the chassis up, let the motor/trans/Kmember stay at ground level

The HAPPY HOOKER works really good.

Don't see how, that's a lot to fit out the top of the engine bay

I have heard of a couple people getting both out the top with the Happy Hooker, but it really isnt very hard to take it out the bottom. Plus you wouldnt have to remove the hood.

They'll come out the top just fine, but you'll need a LOT of angle/height. I prefer to pull them seperately...trans out the bottom, engine out the top...but to each their own.
