Y'all were up town compared to us. The first one my friend and I pulled was a 6 cylinder mustang engine. Stripped it down to nothing but block and stuck a couple of pieces of old hose pipe through the cylinder holes and used 15 year old back power to get it out. The old man bought a 2 dollar engine hoist with nylon pulleys and nylon rope. When we wore that out after two motors he sprang for a 15 dollar come-a-long. Buddy...we were poopin in tall cotton then. :-))
