BSCC- Shop Crane

[Michele Bissonnette]

I have one you're welcome to use here in Rockland.  It can be taken appart and 
put back together fairly easily.

Hi BSCC-ers,

I figured it couldn't hurt to ask.....

Does anyone have a shop crane or some type of device that will fit 
through a basement door (an average-sized people-door) that can be used 
to hoist a 300 lb Corvair engine up onto a work bench? I can buy one, 
but I am already spending a lot on tools and have yet to begin spending 
money on parts and I wish to keep my marriage intact; plus, I would then 
need to find space in my basement to store it.

I've considered building myself a temporary wooden gantry and using a 
block and tackle, which is probably what I'll do if nobody has a crane I 
can borrow. But I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask. :)

Thanks!
Karl
