I'm in the middle of a 2.0 project right now, and disassembled the entire mess on the floor. When it was down to the case halves only, I "hoisted" 'er up and put 'er on the bench - it's very light at this point.
You can assemble it carefully on a bench (I'm making a jig out of 2x4s to cradle it on it's side while I put the crank/cam in), and swindle a buddy into helping you lower the finished deal onto a floor jack, then he can help hold it while the tranny is put on as well. Find a piece of plywood to maneuver it around on too, like in Wilson's book.
Most of mine looked like it was dredged from the Titanic too - it was like a WWF episode, with me trying to wrestle crusty pieces off it as it skidded around on plywood and oil.
Gud Luck!
