As you can tell, the whole "mechanic" thing is far from my day job... BUT...
As I look around to buy a engine stand and a engine hoist I have to ask.... Why are they not combined? Why can't I find an engine hoist that has the plate and bolts? The structure of both are nearly the same. |

I didn't realize the standard plate that came with the engine mount needed to be changed. I'm not overly concerned about grabbing a few neighbors to get the engine onto the stand, I was just thinking if there was combo engine stand / crane I would just buy that. Seems there is not. |

Get a Haynes manual or the Tom Wilson engine rebuild book. It'll save a lot of questions and long answers. There is a lot of good info here, but a lot of bs info too. Get Tom's book and read. You'll be many hours ahead. Gather all the info you can before asking questions. An intelligent question receives more intelligent and accurate answers.
