Question Supporting Engine while I work

I think I know what the answer is going to be... but just in case someone has done the same.

This is for the RS project that I have.

Engine is out:



I need to replace broken exhaust bolts to get ready to install a set of headers and new exhaust (ordering soon from Brian). So I need to be able to work under the engine. I would hate to break the engine and transmission apart to mount the engine on an engine-stand... what are my alternatives? Or I don't have any??

Reason for not wanting to break apart the transmission from the engine is that I have never done that and not sure how difficult it will be to put back together...

I now need to search on how to best remove broken studs... not sure if I have to heat the broken stud or the head... I am hoping to be able to remove them easily as they did not break flush with the head... search on.

Thanks!
