There’s more truth to that than you might want to believe. I’ve done it on a

Do you have a neighbor who owns a tractor with a front loader? If you do,
now is a good time to make him your "new best friend" and lift the engine
off the trailer, move it to a nice paved surface and set it on cribbing
that will let you work on it now, and get an engine hoist attached to it
