You must unbolt the motor mounts and look for two hook loops- one on each exhaust manifold - to lift the motor. Otherwise most people unbolta bolt on each manifold and shove a little longer one with a washer on through a chain to each side. If you want a new lift cylinder for the engine lift - Harbor Freight tool storessell them if one's local to you. There's a local guy that does jacks and hydraulics in PA but I can't say as who would local to you. Maybe look in the phone book for hydraulic repair or jack repair.
