Honda/Nissan/Toyota/Mitsubishi/Subaru

Up to and over 1,000hp, but usually the T6 Supra setups will make over 1,300hp.

Made of thick wall stainless and robotically TIG welded.

[tatra]

this is the size of engine we remove but we are not butchers or work as dangerously as these wild men..........that entire engine is being suspended by no more than a coupla dozen 5/8 bolts that have been subjected to enormous heat and cool cycles..........not to mention the exhaust manifold is only 1/16th plate...........also, takes less time to undo the blots with air tools tahn to burn them off...........effin butchers.........but gives you an idea of the size of engine in a unit.........

Have you got any closer pics of the engine crane setup for the Powerstrokes?I made one for the Ford dealer I worked at but would like to see how that one is done,especially where it attaches to the block.Looks interesting.

These are all I have at home, the lower brackets line up with bolt holes on the block. My partner built this one, but a heavier one is in the plans for the future.

The local Ford dealer has borrowed this one from us a couple of times.

 

[Wesley B]

why do you have to have that special setup

 

[Thedroid]

It is 1500hp. Weight 22000 lbs

[Chamkila]

hahahaha that is soooooooooo funny........once you marry everything fun goes away

 

[caper]

why do you have to have that special setup

There's no room to hook up to a powerstroke in a van the way you would normally lift.There is just barely enough room for the oil pan to clear the crossmember and the valve covers to get by the firewall on the way out.Were talking about an inch of clearance,definitely not enough room to lift from the top so you have to lift from the front of the block.The problem lies in lifting it and keeping it level at the same time,hence the mechanism shown in the pics.
