I use an ATV jack like the one pictured, but I still have to rent an engine hoist to get it on and off the engine stand.

Years ago I borrowed a handy tool from my father, it was basically a hand operated forklift for lack of a better description.

Like a pallet jack with a cable winch.
I used it when working on 914s and it was the kind. I even used it to raise the back of the car high enough to get the jack stands under it.
Maybe that is the answer?
