If you don't get one SSI's are not that hard to install with the engine in the car. You can easily get to everything from below. When you remove the engine put it on a workbench or a box. I have a large wooden box with casters on it. I used this for my rebuild as well. It was a little more work than with a engine stand but not really that hard. A lot of people are using the motorcycle/ATV jack for removal and installation of the engine. When it's raised up to it's full height (About 16") it's the perfect height to work on your carbs and the tin. It's still very stable at that height as well. It's no engine stand but it works. If your short on cash you'll find a way! I don't need the luxury of an engine stand when I do this once in a while. Oh yea, the box is universal too. I had the small block chevy from my boat on it to do a once over a few years ago.
Hopefully you can find a stand to barrow, but if you can't you can barrow the box!
