I don't fancy a car on axle stands that high !!
When i was building mine i had it on 4 stands like that (but lower) and
when i fitted the engine it was actually heavy enough to start lifting
the empty rear of the car. I had to put a couple of wheels and tyres in
the boot to keep it balanced.
I do it with an engine crane.
Put the car up on normal axle stands at the front, leave the rear on the
ground.
Undo everything needed to be undone.
Support the engine weight on the crane and undo the engine mounts.
Lower the engine to the ground, or onto a lower trolley makes things easier.
Transfer the engine crane to the front of subframe and use it to lift
the car high enough to pull the engine out the front.
Reverse for reassembly.

Jin,
See attached link for pics of the engine coming out. You don't need it
as high if you remove the cyl head first.
