"I took some 4x4's and made two A's then strung three 2x6's across. I put it together with lag screws so I can dissassemble it and reuse it when I do the other motor.

"You ned a 2 Ton rolling "engine hoist", available for $150-$200 at most auto part stores such as Pep Boys. After you are done post it for sale on your local Craigs list.
Good Luck"
