I have the same gantry setup, it's worth it's weight in gold. One little mod you might want to do is re drill 2 holes on each side of the top plate that bolts to the a frame to widen it 1' total. This will make it fit past the trailer trailer fenders so you can get it right into place. If not it's a real tight fit

Also look into buying the trolley for the chain fall. It helps if you ever have to pull twin engines it rolls right where you need it.

Lastly be sure to raise the pin height higher then you think you need. I use pin hole 7 when pulling the motor out of my 240. First attempt I used 5 because it looked like it would be plenty. I had to Lower the motor and raise the cross bar.

It will definitely come in handy!
