I have a 5ton 4way overhead crane over my bays which made it slick.

Makes sense that you would have an overhead crane at an outfit like that. I'd be happy with a chainfall on an I-beam. Lol!

For install make a plate that bolts where the turbo pedestal does, makes life much easier.

Have fun lining the engine and trans up. LOL. You are going to want 2 guys underneath and one running the crane. Its easier to pull the cab to do engine swaps imo (did 2 in the last month, one cab on one cab off) but obviously if you don't have a lift you make do!

wrestle a 15l i6 onto the trans with nothing more than an overhead crain and a trans jack by myself without much fight, I don't see why this Is gonna be too bad... trans all but fell out to begin with.
