Need advice:

Planning my engine swap, and accumulating tools. Picked up a standard chinese 2-ton cherry-picker hoist and brought it home. Guess I should have taken all the measurements first, but never guessed there might be a problem. From the front, with the ram right up against the bumper, the plumb center of the motor is STILL way too far back, even with the boom level/extended to the last/.5 ton position and the lifting chain shortened to the max. Will lifting forward of the plumb/gravity center work? Is side removal feasible (the hoist has front wheels that swivel)? Do I need a larger crane with a longer boom? This one was a pre-assembled floor model, and I might be able to return/exchange it yet.
