50 2382 - Understand you not wanting to work under the car, in the driveway, in the rain. Removing the engine will allow you easier access to it and the engine compartment. The problem with working on these long and heavy straight-8 engines is getting a proper engine stand. Bolting the back of the engine to a stand is not recommended for many reasons. There is a project blog over on the PAC website where the poster describes mounting an engine on a special stand and the work he is doing on it. You may find this helpful. Also, the engine stand subject has been discussed on this site. Or, you may have already figured this out. Will follow your progress with interest.
