The last time I put an engine in an Ambo, I just set the frame on the
ground with the engine next to it, and had Suzanne put the engine on the
ground between the frame rails. Everything will sit there real nice by
itself, all you have to do is lift the frame up an inch or 2 to the
engine while you slide in the engine bolts, spacers, etc. Much easier
than trying to hold an engine in the air while trying to thread the
bolts through it and the frame. Don't forget that the front engine bolt
goes through the crashbars.
If you're a weenie and need a real woman to do the job for you,
Sooxzie (the x is silent) might help, but you'd have to ask her real
nice. Then just stand back and keep the heck out of her way.

 I put my motor and tranny in myself with the frame on the lift lowered
to the ground. Raised it all up and then put the wheels and forks on.
Now if you need help lifting the motor, ask John P if his wife can
install it for you. I'm sure he still has the picture available with her
standing with the motor in her arms.
