I'm looking into possibly purchasing an engine hoist and stand for my dad's shop for when I rebuild/refresh the motor in the 73' Station Wagon. However, I also want the stand and hoist to be able to withstand the weight of the 2.3L of my 78' Sedan when I plan to pull that to repaint the car.
Harbor Freight has a Hoist with a 1 ton capacity, which I know is more than enough. They have two stands which I am interested in though, one that will hold 350lbs and one that will hold 1000lbs, trying to decided between the two, as I will most likely be purchasing these early next year.
