Brief Description:  Hanging the engine

I had bought an engine crane and load leveler from HF so now was the time to put them to use. I first attempted to use cargo straps attached to the leveler but when I lfted the engine to the cranes max height I realized it was too low to match up with the engine mount. So a quick trip to Lowes was in order to buy a shackles and chain and I was back in business. I manuvered the crane to the front of the fuse and raised the engine up to the correct height. I then slowly moved the engine into position and installed the Lord mounts and associated hardware. I had to use a sparkplug socket to tighten the bolts as the bolts sit inside the mounts. Exlcuding my Lowes side trip, it took me working solo less than 30 min from opening the crate to completing torquing the bolts down and removing the crane.
