As the engine hoists I can rent near my home are on the weak and small side for my 429.
as I also want to get the trans out as well I saw in total days per time, I'd be just bits cheaper than buying a safe one.
So was looking at this baby..

its dutch: it says
The lifting arm is adjustable from 1050 to 1590mm (41.3 to 62.6 inch )
I see on pict on most extended the capacity goes down to 1 ton, which is enough
and arm can go up to 2,36 meter high (92.91 inch).
With the right chain length that also should do it I think.
However this thing isn't delivered with chains or anything but a hook.
found a place to buy in all kinds

and stuffs to secure the chain

I have not yet found here some adapter to change the angle load (too expensive if comes from the states). So for now its all about doing it with chains.
I would like to know if you guys have one, how should the connection chains to the hook (if you use chains of course)
The plan being to have the engine on chain at the four corners, I also wonder what is smarter: 4 chains and using the prev link a way to adjust their length
or if I should better take 2 longer chains and secure them in the middle at the hook?
Also, as the plan is to get the trans out too, as I don't see how i could keep the car safely 1/2 meter higher without investing in other lift alternatives.
If you have done it, tips welcome.
EDIT: found one here, I was just not searching using the right term..
