Thought I would chime in here.  I am using an aluminum $150 motorcycle hoist
from Harbor Freight.  I put the Van wheels on dollies, this raises the van a
bit. Slide the carrier under the van engine. Jack it up to support the
engine, dis connets the associated hardware and lower the engine. Slide it
out and put it on a bench. Usually I just pick it up and place it on the
bench.
