len911,

the ATV jack looks like the answer. How high does the ATV jack raise up? I need 24 inches from the floor to my engine stand. If it does not raise that high I can "shim" up w some 2x4's. Now I could avoid getting my hoist out of the rafters, assembling it(PIA) and simply roll the ATV Jack under the engine, remove the engine and tranaxle, disconnect the transaxle, roll the engine to the engine stand and attach.

One man job, no neighbors and best of all I wont be rolling the engine and transaxle around the garage teatering dangerously on a regular jack!

It also solves the problem :when I install the engine and I'm bolting up the tranaxle bolts I dont have to have the wife steady the engine from up top!
