Denny, I know exactly how you feel those heads are a lot heavier now then they were 40 years ago.
How about putting it back on similar to how you got it out. Pad the fenders good and lay a couple of 2x4's across them and slide the head out over the engine. With alignment dowels in place and the head gasket on the block stack 1x4 and 2x4 wooden blocks on the block to support the head and remove the 2x4 blocks one at a time lowering the head down to the alignment pins at that point have 3/4 thick blocks which you can remove one at a time to slowly drop the head. Time consuming but might save a hernia.
