It's on a stand right now, not in a bay, so it's about at the height of the back of the escape. I figured one person with leather gloves grabs in the coolant passages for the water pump and the other grabs the fingers for the round handle that slides into the stand. I guess ill be putting my BUFMATMUSLEPANTS name to the test! Better buy some of those spongebob anchor arms... Or I can just barrow a hoist.

Proform maks a set of aluminum handles that screw into the block and make it easier to lift and manuver, that"s how I move my blocks around and I think they're about $50.

LOL... no sir. Unless dude is a champion rock climber, that won't suffice. Just turn the block up side down and grab the front of the banks and put fingers inside cylinders 1 & 2. Other person can grab the engine stand mount. No problem!

$20 engine dolly then drill it and put some angle iron across and take off the casters. Keeps the engine flat and level and gives a good handle. That is how we did engines in the back of my wagon. A shortblock is doable with two guys provided you have handles of some sort.
