V-8 engine drop, easiest 'how to' Options

[JB 914]

I've gotten way side tracked this summer with other matters that caused me to put all my 914 projects on hold.

i'm just getting back to finishing up my V-8 car for paint. i've probably got about 1-2 full days left of prep work to finish stripping the car. Then i'm taking it to a local shop for new FG rear quarters and to fix the crappy front FG flares.

While it's at paint i'm going to either assemble a new 327 myself or take it to a local shop and have it assembled and dyno'ed. anyone know a good place for that in Orange County area for SBC V-8?

i'm going to be dropping the engine before taking it for paint. i've done the type 4 drop many times. what is the easiest way to do the V-8 drop?

i'm hoping to get it dropped and out of here by the end of the month. i'm figuring it will take them a while to finish the body work and paint.
