Hi John, No, an engine stand is not a luxury I enjoy with my very limited shop/tool selection. I just made a wooden stand for the engine, that could be fork-lifted and used a borrowed davit-arm style hydraulic engine lift on wheels to hoist and lower it into the engine bay. All worked okay, albeit rather basic. I just bought some more property adjacent to my place and will be building a nice, big double car garage/shop. THEN I will get some of the 'toys' to make this all a little easier. Might even invest in an above-ground hoist!! Good luck with your re-install - post some pictures, would love to see the progress as it comes together. Chris.
