<VV> 64 convertible motor removal.

[Bryan Blackwell]

As others have mentioned, you don't need a lift to remove a Corvair engine.  There are a few variations on the motorcycle lift method, I saw a nice cart done by Al Lacki that functions as both an adapter to the lift and a cart once the drivetrain is out, perhaps he'll post a link to the photos.  The Sears lift he used appeared very well suited to pulling a Corvair drivetrain.

A couple other notes:

 - HF has 6 ton jackstands, they are nice for getting the rear of the car high and stable.
 - Pulling the entire drivetrain is recommended over just the engine, especially on an early.
