I run a chain from one crossmember bolt location (underneath the frame rail)
to the corresponding crossmember bolt location on the other frame rail, and
then use the hoist on the chain to pick up the car.
The reason for doing this is that in the process of removing the engine from
the car, it's not helpful if the car is jacked way up in the air... you end up
doing about half the work from above, and the other half from below, so if the
nose is 'way up there, it's just hard to do the from-the-top stuff.
Cheers,
Theo
