An engine hoist, also commonly referred to as a "cherry picker"...

He is correct. Ask 20 mechanics, and most will have there own names ( some may be suggestive ). "Cherry Pick'R" is an old favorite. You can go to most rental stores and rent one for a few bucks a day (plus deposit). They come in sections for easy transport, and are assembled with a few bolts / pins.
I would also recommend a "load balance". It is a device that connects between the engine and the lift. It allows the engine to shift weight, front to back, as the engine / transmission is removed, by the turn of of a handle. The rental agent will explain the device in greater detail. Trust me, it is worth the added few dollars! Good luck and be careful !..........
