FYI Someone replied to your weight question, in "what did you do to your landcruiser this week"... 880 lbs
You should have been here when I moved the shipping container with 6 pipes and a wrecking bar!
I moved a 500 lb fireplace insert across a wooden deck, up a wooden ramp and 20' across a concrete slab, by myself, using four 1" pipe lengths, a 6' sissy bar and a young goat.
Well, I really didn't use a young goat, it just sounded good... but, I should have had help... probably why I had back surgery a few months ago.
Glad y'all got it loaded and didn't get hurt!!

I told Marc we should have his wife recording it but we were already 75% the way up. That's when you realize you might have made a mistake but you can't go back. 
Well Dave, I'm glad you got your baby home and safe. I have a feeling unloading it will be easier than the load in. Now you've got some renewed motivation. 
Thanks Danny, I saw that reply after my question here.

880 is 400kg. I need to get an engine stand but don't want to buy more than necessary.
But 400 is a bit to close to the limit of the cheap ones.

Finally found some time to set the motor. 
OOOOOOOO, AAAHHHHH! 
Those pieces are so clean you could eat off them. . . and your floor is so clean you could eat what ever falls down onto it!!

That's purty, Dave!!
Your last pic threw me... Until I zoomed it, it looked like the engine is mounted outside the driver side frame rail

I must say that carburetor is a piece of art and smooth as silk.
Dave, that's so clean and beautiful, I think you drive it without the body!!!

Thanks everyone 
I noticed the round stool behind the bellhousing.
There's too much room in that garage! You need another project.
