REFLECTOR: What engine hoist?

[Grover McNair]

I think either of these would work fine but why not rent one. Most
metropolitan areas have tool rental companies.

Reflector, 

 

I've never installed an engine before, either in a car or plane. Are there
any special requirements for the engine hoist I'm going to need to put an
IO-550 on my XL? Can I just get a (relatively) inexpensive automotive hoist
like this . . . ?
