Find a place with a fork truck and pay them a few bucks to set it in place. Lumber yard, salvage yard. Even a construction company has forks on their bobcats.

If you wouldn't mind dragging everything out to Haymarket, Virginia, you are welcome to bring it out to my house. I have a barn with a 10' high door and 12' high ceiling. I keep a chain fall hanging from the beams just for this. If you want to do this, let me know and I'll give you directions.

Tommy, if you haven't figured anything out yet, give me a call, I have access to a portable gantry that is at my house in Marbury(near Smallwood State Park). It takes two guys to set it up but is wide enough and tall enough for my boat.

Take Nick up on his offer. He has pulled his engine 4 or 5 times last year alone. Good guy too.
