^There or pepboys if you have one local. Me and my friends got our there for like $120(with rebate) i have used it for like 6 or more engine swaps and crap and holding up good lock tite all the bolts though.

 

I bought my 1 ton from Harbor Freight, 129.99 on clearance. It's a very good lift, requires about an hour worth of assembly (if putting it together by yourself). It has lifted 13B's 3 or 4 times now with ease, no sign of any parts warping or cracking, best value by far!

 

I second Harbor Freight, they always have stuff that's good enough for most people and cheap.

I picked mine up new at a local pawn shop years ago when I did my first rebuild.

 

Have you searched craigslist yet? Worth a shot.

 

craigslist, and if you have to buy new harbor freight is going to be the cheapest

 

Craigslist will be your best bet

 

harbor freights
