How do I get the motor in?!
Ok,.. So I have the beastly small block all together and ready to go IN the boat. WOOHOO. But how the heck am I going to get this thing in there? I have nothing in the garage to hang it from and no friends with garages or anything similar. Suggestions appreciated!

Talking about putting the horse before the cart I would say its time to do some carpentry work! Or you might want to look into buying/renting a hoist. You would need to measure the height needed first to make sure you can clear the transom. Or you might need to assemble it in the boat
Good luck...

Forklift, tow truck, oak tree, it just looks heavy. Local Fire Departments often have trucks with a boom crane on them. We have one that will lift a pair of BBC and put them about 10' in the air.

You can rent a lift or an a-frame. Instead of attempting this in the garage (w/limited overhead), I'd move the boat in the driveway. Lift the motor then roll the boat under it and lower away. If the boat is not on a trailer, then you might need to put it on one for this phase.
