Dont know where to put this...

But I borrowed a engine hoist from chrisfromnj and an engine stand from hardline42. I appreciate their kindness, but the engine hoists arm only goes out to a certain length, and with the certain length the engine stand hits into the bottom of the hoist.

How can I get this to work? Im trying to get this done asap. So I can get my car running, and in tip top shape. is there any way, I can do the cam install on the ground, and then flip the motor over and do the oil system and when i put the pan on carefully flip it back over on a tire?

I said Im in a rush, but I still have to paint my engine bay again, and I dont want to do anything that will harm my motor, Plus I have NO IDEA how to do the oil system..

edit, when I form a plan, what bolts do I use to bolt up the engine to the stand?
