engine removal

hey all, i have a 2006 f-550 sd. i am replacing the engine. i dont have a lift to raise the cab with, but i do have a overhead hoist rated at 4 tons. plus i have straps rated at 11,000 pounds each. anybody ever pull a cab this way? and anyone give me a good idea as far as lift points. any help would be great.

Just pull the engine out the front. All
You need is a cheery picker and remove
the core support and related hardware.

Cheezit,
Can you easily pull the engine and trans on one of the
F-series trucks or are you better off splitting them?
I know that as one the weight is getting up there.
But I don't know if there is room to do that.
