I want to buy a frame spreader (I know that I can make one but right now I would prefer to buy one. Bert’s list’s one but has been out of stock for some time. Does anybody have one to sell me? Or know where I could buy one? BTW Snyder’s does not even show one.

Perhaps borrow one from a local club member?
 
Our club owns one but I am an hour away from where the clubs tools are stored. I would rather buy one that drive 4 hours (and buy the gas to do so). I have a frame spreader but I have no idea if it would work. Does anybody here know?
 
I think that the spring spreader would be too wide, also most likley will not clear the transmission. Might work though
While nice to have, with a little pushing and some wiggling the engine might just go in. When they give you the most trouble is after you change the rubber in the rear mounts
 
Dave Delmue says he'll probably do a run of them sometime this year. Otherwise you're out of luck unless you can find one for sale used, borrow, or fabricate.
 
I have used my spring spreader and some 4x4 sections before. I have a bottle jack and some 4 x 4s that I have thought about using before. It's amazing that the little bit the frame comes inward can be so difficult to overcome.
