I'd rather use a engine hoist, but this is one alternative for any of you that have access to a tractor with a bucket.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Maybe this is a sign that I live too far out in the country... But around here, it isn't all that unusual for people to have tractors with a front end loader.
In a fit of garage cleaning I sold my engine hoist a few years ago (stupid, I know). I was trying to figure out how to swap my old engine from the lift table to a dolly, and my new engine from the moving crate onto the lift table.
Here's what I came up with:
1) two threaded eye bolts, one installed into each end of the outboard motor mount holes in the rear support, and two sturdy fender washers sized to fit the threaded portion of the eye bolt
2) three 3' lengths of sturdy chain
3) four 1/2T galvanized anchor shackles (or sized to fit chain links)
4) a tow rope with hooks (or a chain, etc.)
5) tractor with a front end loader
- Use three of the shackles to attach one end of the chains to the two motor mount eye bolts and the lift hook on the back of the engine (backing the bottom with fender washers)
- Use the fourth shackle to join the three chains together toward the other end of the chain with enough length that you are not putting any pressure on engine parts
- Using your tow rope or chain: attach to the fourth shackle (note, I should have used a chain, but didn't think of it at the time)
- Lift bucket carefully
- Move engine
I'd rather use a engine hoist, but this is one alternative for any of you that have access to a tractor with a bucket. It only cost ~$25 in chain and shackles at the hardware store.
I'm keeping the eye bolts on the old/spare engine mount so I have it ready to go if I ever need it again.
Tip - a one ton furniture dolly (~$20 new) holds a M96 engine nicely and allows it to be rolled around (good feature to have in a crowded garage).
Second tip - do not try this with your forklift arms on your bucket. All that high school geometry and science start to make sense quickly.
Pictures or it didn't happen?...
I have a photo from 3 weeks ago of my new small-block Chebby dangling by a loop of chain from an excavator bucket.
This must be near the front of the redneck playbook.
cds72911: Howdy, neighbor. I'm just over the Charlotte line in Shelburne. I was under the impression that everyone around here has a John Deere and that's why I need to get one, too (at least, that's what I keep telling my wife - hasn't worked yet though).
Now that you mention it, I do recall a joke involving a couple missionaries, various Indigenous Tribal Personnel (i.e. savage natives), and a choice between death or Kubota. But this isn't THAT Kubota.
And we've got all the gas we need, thank you very much.
