Ditto on stripping the engine down to bare bones before trying to lift it, possibly even pulling the cylinder head to minimize the height of the short block and reducing the weight by close to 100 pounds. Given the difficulty of a "remove and reinstall" I'd recommend a full rebuild before going to all that work, instead of putting an engine of unknown condition back in.
