O.K. here the next one: car was completely stripped. Problem was that the truck to pick it up was too large to enter the year. So we moved the chassis on the frame of the engine lift and 2 hydraulic jacks, actually it worked later with only one hydraulic jack, nicely balanced.

ill stay outta the competition as i have too much experience from running our salvage yard for better then 10 years and have 3 forklifts, if i had a pic of the old car pusher id post it, t'was a 4 cylinder 84 isuzu trooper that i built a battering ram on the front, id drop it into 4 low and drag/push the cars around the yard, it doubled as a fun toy after we crushed cars and had room, once we had a mud hole that was 3'+ feet deep by time we really started to have fun, then we got a good size lift and the trooper was retired and crushed but i miss the 4wd, the new guy got the big lift stuck, buried to the axles on both ends, i had enough chain to pull from pavement and had to drop a car onto the back of my truck to hold it down, i grabbed the heavyest thing i could safely pick up with the small lift (the middle size diesel was out of commission)


dry weight is listed at 19,500 on the big clark diesel and it was on the frame, after breaking the line a couple times and adding a car for ballast da beast yanked it right out

I've never thought of doing it like that.

Regarding these pix.......I am about ready to pull an M50 with 5-speed from my donor car....and this is very similiar to the way I envisioned doing so. Rad. core support etc removed,car braced just so.....the pull forward the whole assembly.
Is there a better way even still ? Or is this just as well ? I wasn't going to need to ROLL it as you've done...so the crossmember and suspension were going to be remaining for this project/point.

I was told so by one member of the U.K. board, which is dealing in used E32 parts. He said that is the fastest, if part a car and do not have a engine crane.
That I did after I got a hydraulic crane

It's always easier just to disassemble
