Its probably not too smart to do but its just a thought. GL with findin somethin though.

Do not do that! All you need is a chain and a come-along. Find two trees that are close together(Just enough that you can get the car between them), then tie the chain around both trees(doesn't matter if there are limbs or not), hook the come-along to the chain and motor and pull it out! The weight of the motor will keep the chain from sliding down. Me and a buddy have done this several times with no problems. If it can hold a 301 boat anchor, then it should work for you. Now getting it out the truck, just back the truck under the chain and hook the come-along and move the truck then push the car between the trees and your set!
