Lifting engine block with a hoist?

Do you have a driveway with a gutter at the street? I do this all the time.

Back truck towards Driveway and stop when tires are at deepest point of gutter. Drop tailgate. Roll engine on stand out so it's setting over the tailgate. Slowly back truck up driveway. The stand should lift off the ground. Slide main section of stand off. Engine loaded on tailgate.

Reverse steps for dropping it off.

Things you figure out when a one man show. :)
