Cherry pickers are not ideal for such a large engine and weight but if you don't have an A frame or an area tall enough for one and the car is on jackstands so not rolling there are not a lot of other options. I guess I am fortunate in that mine has a decent control so it can inch the weight down. It has managed 6 engine removal and replacements in the last 30 years but always with two people doing the work.

I surely would not use any kind of rafter setup unless I knew exactly how it was supported and what condition the wood was in and then I'd still think twice. Too many stories of grief with that setup.
