Engine Hoist/Lift Modification

Making it more useful , why just let it sit in the corner . I enjoy using my tools if there's more ways to get more out of it I'm in.

Yeah, I had the option to buy a transmission jack and tool it up. I just could not justify spending the money on another tool to take up shop space to do the same thing.

Looks great! Clever slip joint you added.

I had the same thoughts as you, why buy a new tool when I could mod one I already had to do the job. My other issue with the transmission jacks was that the cheaper ones (still $300-$400) didn't look very sturdy. I didn't want to be under and/or near one with the transaxle 6' in the air. Sounded like a disaster waiting to happen.
