yea, it really weighs that much. You dont pull the head off then pull
the rest of it, you pull the complete engine/tranny package, seperate
the tranny, the pull your head and all that. You can do it without a
stand but why? They are cheap at harbor freight or other places.

That's what I'd like to do, but have a question or 2.
I do not have an engine stand to put it on at first, nor do I have a place
to keep the engine somewhat dry. So I'm thinking that I can remove all
the accessories from the engine then strip it down to the block. But my
main question is, how hard is it to remove just the block from the engine
once the head is off? Does it really weigh that much? Are there places
to hook onto the block once the head is removed?
I'm curious about the best way to do this without a garage/work shop. Any
BTDT's or advise from the wise?

It is probably not wise to rebuild something with a hole in the side of
the block. There are too many reasons to list. You'd be better off trying
to salvage the head, and take kaleb's wagon short block as a rebuilder.
