Engine lift? / ideas

Ok well im working on stripping down my car and as the subject indicates i need to get my engine out. I have it completely disconnected from the car and i even removed the tranny.

I tried calling stevensons rentals but they told me all there engine lifts were broken… So I woundering what i should do. i was thinking about some sorta of pull system but i don’t think i would have much controll with that and i could easily damage the motor. I’m just looking for idea’s on what i should do to get it out.

obviously if anyone in the east(oshawa area) or toronto for that matter has a lift they would be willing to rent out for a day i’d deffinently do that.

use a chain fall hanging from an iron I-beam in your garage

one rated for more than 800lbs, 1500lbs would be safe…

got a very big tree nearby with a thick thick branch?

depending on how far down you’re stripping the car, you could also unbolt the subframe and lift the frame/body.
