I figure I'll get it to a completed long block in the basement, then bring it up and bolt on the accessories. This will likely be an extended project so being able to keep a clean, but partially assembled motor in a climate controlled enviroment seems like a good plan.
Tony, if you think I'm getting into any of this without first completely picking your brain you are mistaken! Once I start moving forward, you'll be the first to know...after spousal approval that is.

Gary,
Let me know when you decide to do the this project. There is really nothing novel about the contraption. Just need common sense and some engineering background regarding safety concern because I work solo all the time. A few lumber from
HD and a battery operated winch from
HF were what I have been using.
I'll be doing another engine rebuild this fall/winter season in my basement and document the operation with pictures or video to demonstrate to other members interested in doing similar activity that even an elderly senior citizen with a bad and knee has fun doing it again and again.
I wish I could assemble my wooden contraptions and winch/hoist for the demo today. But I'm getting ready for a trip to Australia on Monday and have an engine in the garage waiting to be finished by this weekend.
You are welcome to stop by anytime. So you and I could take a ride up or down to my basement/cellar. Well this sounds like a chair lift for the disabled people!!!!
Tony
