It's good that you have your "BABY" back home Ed.    Bet it will take more than $2500 to get the 310 in the background  off its tail.

The answer is in this photo, Barny.  At least part of it is.  I have a collapsible lift that is really a life saver (back too),  I can lift the engine out and in the mounts with little problem.  Takes me about 5 minutes or less (once I have spent several hours disconnecting everything and taking the oil pan off.
 
I lift the engine off the aircraft, roll the lifts two long stabilizing feet under the van.  Prop the rear hatch with a long push-broom handle and then put the engine in back of the passengers seat, then pull out the feet from the lift, load the lift, feet, etc. in the van along with the engine and take off. 
 
Works well, if you have the "balance" beam you can see hanging in the photo - just turn the handle until you have the attitude you want from the load and push it into place.
