I have been thinking of installing a K member in my 87 GT vert. I saw in an old issues (May 2002) of 5.0 mag an article about installing a k member. They had some sort of hoist to hold the engine up while doing the swap. Now it wasn't the usual engine hoist that you would use while removing an engine. It was smaller and the base fit inside the engine compartment. The legs were supported by the area by the top of the struts. The artile said this was much better as there wouldn't be legs below hte car while you are trying to work there.

Anyone know where to get one? What they are called? Or best of all how to make one? I have some decent fab skills so welding something up wouldn't be a problem. Unfortunatly the one picture they had with the hoist in it was too dark to get enough detail.

Any info appreciated!
