I wrapped grade 80 chain around 3 timesthen hung chain hoist. first motor out then unwrap chain, move over other engine and rewrap chain. I built this as modular as possible so easy to dis/ass. Only help needed is to pick it up to its upright position.

The gantry didn't flinch when the motor was lifted. When I was done with the removal and install I chopped up the wood and used it in the fire pit.

My pole barn has a little over 11-feet overhead clearance, and I reinforced one of the trusses by sandwiching several 2x6's and also supported it with a post halfway across the span. Wrapped a heavy logging chain around it and attached a chain hoist, and up she went. It was pretty close rolling the boat out from under it. Had to go backwards first to allow the hatch to be closed, then forward to get the boat out from under it. I held my breath a little bit while the engine was hanging ten feet in the air.
Another thing that helped was outlining the exact position of the trailer tires on the garage floor. That allowed me to back it into almost the exact same spot, which made it much easier to reinstall the engine.
You will need to measure to see if you need more overhead clearance. If my boat was a little taller, or even if I had larger trailer tires, not sure if it would have worked.

how much clearance approximately does one need? Eyeballing mine looks like about 6and a half feet to the the rafter .

Anyone have suggestions on who else I can call around the Conroe area? Byron pulled one and its being rebuilt at Nickens brothers right now and I'm about to have other one pulled. Yesterday he said it was 750 out per and 750 back in per, thats 3k to remove and re-install two small block 350's
I could have swore that he made it clear that it was 750 in and out per side for 1500 to remove and install both.
