Pulling motor

Can I use a normal engine hoist to pull my BBC out of my 73'??

Doesn't seem like I can go at it from the front, but didn't know if I could from the side.

Figured I would ask before I try something stupid that don't work.

I go in from the pass side very slightly towards the front, usually remove the wheel and have the frame on a stand so nothing is in the way of the hoist.

If you've got one of the older American made engine lifts, that has ample front extension, I always like going in from the front. We have an old Continental hoist, that we borrow from one of our circle track buds.

I went from the front, but I wasn't worried about the paint or anything else really....
It was pretty close, but it's an AC Delco hoist from Oreilly's

Either way your out there a long way with a heavy motor.
An extra friend (fat if possible) standing on the back of the hoist can prevent a possible heartbreak
