Where does one obtain a lift? I don't really feel the need to buy one...seeing as I probably won't use it for terribly to long. I'm planning on pulling my 2.5L and building up a 3L so one would be necessary. My tranny also needs work at the same time so why not? Is it possible to rent one or do I have to drop the money to buy one?
I have one... I am selling it.. But I think terry wants it... But if he doesnt wanna buy it.... you can....

harbor freight sells them, as does TSC i believe and probably autozone as well.
Auto Zone does sell them. Or at least the one local to me right down the street has them for sale.

Well, I've had dreams of the big pit and so forth. However we rent so thats out of the question :D
Today my car is all ****ered up...might actually have to go 3L one way or another now.

I would just buy it. I did an engine swap in a diff car before and it always takes longer than you think and the rental charges just add up tot he cost of one quickly.

ya sorry nick, I've been dragging my feet on getting that from you but I definitely want it. I'll try to make some arrangements to pick it up in the next few weeks [just need to make some arrangements to borrow the company truck].
