I'm fixing to have to pull my engine and wondered if anyone has tried the Happy Hooker.If the happy hooker works good i'd rather use it if it makes pulling the engine and instaling it easier with the intake still on.
Thanks

I've never heard of it. Can you explain what it does?

 

nevermind, just looked it up. Here is what it looks like.

 

the happy hoocker is a life saver man, i pulled 3 motors with it, makes everything easier

 

You might want to search for info on dropping the engine out of the bottom. Several people have found that to be a lot easier, and at least one of them has an online procedure.

 

I love the Happy Hooker...mine has pulles several engines out, not just LT1s.

 

Is it safe to pull the engine by using a plate bolted where the fuel rail bolts go? Lifting the engine by the aluminum intake manifold seems like it might cause distortion issues...

 

How much is it and where can I get one. Sounds like a valuble tool to have.

50 bucks from TPIS, and no it will not hurt the intake it comes with grade 8 bolts so nothin brakes, it is only easier to pull it from the bottom if you have a lift.

 

Good to hear positive replies from it.I'm going to order it.Just curious,is their anything less that you have to pull with the happy hooker besides the intake?
Thanks
