My tahoe 222 has a mercruiser 5.0 with a cracked block. I just picked up a 5.7 im planning to swap in it. I am struggling with how to get the motor out where it is recessed under the cover. I have access to a tractor with forklift attachment on front and a hoist setup in a old tobacco barn. The front eye is flush the front of the opening. Anyone know how to get it out?

Not seeing what your dealing with (no pics) I'm going to guess is its going to need some fiberglass work. Meaning the top needs to be cut maybe at the gunnels and lifted off to gain access

If there is enough room to lift it up and out, might be able to make a custom lifting bracket.
