Hi Slappy, If you ever go to any Federal government surplus sales you can probably find
used engine heavy duty stands.

They may even have an A-frame with a
chain hoist. These A-frames have wheels so you can move them into position and are ideal when
connecting components together. You would need a concrete floor to support one of these.

We used these a lot when an overhead
crane wasn't available and they're ideal when it comes to safety. When I pulled an engine from a car I rented an engine hoist and it was disassembled on a pallet. I told the man there I needed a 2 minute instruction as to how to assemble it. He put that thing together in about 3 or 4 minutes. It was a big unit with a long reach and was very stable. It was capable of lifting a heavy load. Good Luck, Hal
