So, I had to pull the motor again to get to the block so Timeserts could be installed (Wed, I hope, if tooling comes), but turning her on her side with all the accoutrements attached didn't seem like the way to go. So, two floor jacks and two boys, aged 9 and 11 does the trick. Get the engine disconnected. Jack it up so as to clear the frame (covered in rubber tubing so as not to disturb the fresh golden patina). Get another floor jack with a piece of plywood on top. Make the elevation of the second floor jack match the first. Have the two little helpers push the lump of a motor over onto the second floor jack while you supervise on the other side (making sure things don't go too far south. Presto!
