engine positioning jig

My next step is to position the engine in space without using the engine mounts so I can build a subframe.  I made a little stand to do help this that should keep out of the way:

 

 
In the first image you can see that the closest nut has the threads drilled out.  This diameter allows it to slip over the bolt head on the sump bolts.  I made four of these and they all attached to a piece of plywood.  I can thread them up or down to get the engine the right height and angle.  Since I made them independent of each other, I can move them to different oil pan positions if they end up in the way.

I pinned a strap under one of them so I can lightly pull the engine down on the stand.  This way I can still lift the engine and slide it around to the final spot without lifting it off the stand.
