I have lifted 454 big block and block it self was bitch to lift. After rebuilt it, using the lifter it was still bitch to lift, cuz they didn't make area to hook it to (so had to bolt em on). While H4, when you remove the exhaust header, you can lift it by headcovers/headers. If you wanna use lifter, you can use any part of H4 to lift it: Manifold, near alternator, lil bit below the throttle, if you take off the manifold, there's few hook area. While I4 engines are vertical and don't have much place to put your hands on (I, myself only lifted three I4 engines, so IDK too much).

oh i didnt express my self properly. i meant picking it up strictly by hand, and i have never picked up a engine by a manifold (intake or exhaust..) every I4 i picked up was by the bottom and rest it against me while carrying (cradeled from front/end by forearms, one side by torso and holding it by the bottom of crank case) its easy for me that way. i have never picked up a H4 by hand. i was refering to more of a 2.5L V6 (150cu") rather than a 454 (good work for picking that up btw)

F'k lifting an engine without a hoist.

Unless it's Kei car engines. They're hella light. I think, one of my dog is heavier than some of the Kei car engines (3cylinders ones). :bellyroll:

Hahaha good point, and with regular engines, I have just done it exactly as 70NYD, just use proper lifting technique, with your legs.

yep allways with legs only,or your end up with herniated diskes :p (i know 2 ppl that have herniated disks, one guys is so bad that u can see it throguh his skin clearly.. ugh)

Ugh that just makes life completely miserable. My mother is a physical therapist so I used to see that kind of stuff all the time.

You young'ins have it so easy these days.
In my days you had to lift big block cadillac engines that weighed more than a whole car of today and carry it to motor school every day in the rain, uphill both ways and twice on sundays.
Hecknabbit even one of the steel doors off a buick weight more than a whole kei car.

And we never complained about THEY TOOK OOOR JAAAWBS!

The key is to put it all in your groin and your back. Take your legs totally out of the equation. Lift with your lower back in a jerking, twisting motion. haha (family guy)
