    Thanks guys, I ended up buying a chain block for about $100, it's just a bit difficult to put it up in a rental property.
    I rang Hare and Forbes and they quoted $365, the prices must have gone up with the AUD going down or something.

    I also picked up an engine stand. It makes it so much easier to work on the engine! I've always just used an old tyre on the ground to sit the motor in

    Yeah, the seatbelts are great, I've always used them when lifting engines
