    Just a cherry picker. ISX head is heavier, but and decent cherry picker should work. Will have to pull a steer tire off though

    I used an engine hoist to pull the head on the engine I'm doing a short block on now. Its much larger than a typical automotive one though, this one is a 3 ton close up and lifts pretty high at full extension.

    Mine just barely got high enough to clear the front cover. It was one of the cheapo chinese ones with the fold up legs. Overhead crane with hoist is so much easier to use that if there is a next garage, it will be built around having as big of an overhead crane as I can afford. Of course space big enough for a forklift would simplify things also, but we're taxed per sq. foot here so...
