Word of caution. Most hoists are rated at 4000 lbs, but that is with the lift arm at it's shortest setting. The longest setting is about 1/4 that. There is usually too much stuff in the way to use the shortest setting. I split my Super H using an itermediate setting if I remember right, for the front end -- barely adequate, and very unstable. If you are removing the engine it's ok, if you are supporting the whole front end from the clutch forward, it's not, particularly if it has a narrow front. For what I did, I should have blocked the front, and rolled the rear back, but I didn't have a dolly for the rear.
