Well Denny, this is interesting. What I think I would do is take your engine stand and make a small cherry picker out of it, should be pretty simple to make. use angle iron and a couple of 1/4 inch steel plate about 4 inches square. Make a bracket to bolt to the engine stand high enought to clear front of radiator,say 6 inches.
weld 4" plate to top of this drill 1/2" hole in center of plate first. Take two pieces of angle iron and weld the second plate to these with 1/2 hole drilled in center, position plate about one foot from end. drill both ends to mount pulleys one front one rear. The idea is to make a crane, assemble the whole thing and drill a stop pin hole to lock the whole thing in the forward possition. make out riggers for bottom of engine stand so it doesn't tip over. attach come a long to rear and run cable over pulleys . I think you get the idea, might even make it so it uses a hydralic jack say one or two tons. make it so you can take it apart and store it, should be handy for other things like put a transmission on top of a workbench, so forth.
