Just a note on the comment about lifting the engine by the inlet manifold. A close  neighbour of mine used to work for Lotus and was involved in the early days at the Jensen factory. He states that  the recommended sling point for the engine was a strap around the middle two pipes if the inlet manifold. This gives a near perfect balance point to lift the engine out, admittedly this is for engines fitted with dellortos. I have used this method to lift my engine on and off the engine stand with no problems as the engine is very light compared with many others i,ve worked on.
