Engine moving day...

In the shop, I had a small stand made out of 2x4s on casters, but the same
principle for handling the weight (obviously avoided the intake runners,
etc.) easy to move around and easier to then hoist into mounting position
on the engine mount. I had borrowed the stand that stores the engine on
its
prop flange; i.e., vertically, "prop" side down. Not as convenient for my
needs. A shop might loan you one of those if that is your preference.

Once in the new shop you can use an automotive engine stand such as HF tools
ITEM 32915-0VGA $39.95. If you can wait until it's on sale you can get ten
bucks off. Simply cut four standoffs from iron pipe and get four long bolts.
If this is a Dynofocal mount, you'll have to be a little more creative. It
is very nice to have the engine on wheels and to have it up where you can
reach it easily.
