Looking for engine hoist/cherry picker in socal.

Well going to be swapping in my new engine in the rx-2 this coming weekend and would like to know if somone has one they would let me barrow, or sell cheap? Or even rent. Will be needing it for about a 1 week or so as I need to get all the mounting and cross member firgured out.

Harbor frieght has them at 200$ and that just doesn't seem worth it to me for one time use.. so if someone has one PM or email me at trainwreck@gmail.com

Cheers - Alvaro

Check out http://www.maxtool.com/cgi-bin/dbsearch.exe. They are in San Dimas. They should have a hoist for around $100. Good luck, Ken.

Well wasn't able to get one, and don't have a truck to transport one.. but with some creative thinking we didn't need one.
