Damn, that's a good idea. I thought i was smart by stacking wood inside the
frame (sitting right side up) and stacking wood outside the frame so the
wood was just above the frame rail. then, slide the motor from the outside
stack of wood, over teh frame rail, and onto the inside stack of wood,
tilting the left cylinder to clear the frame's rain gutter. It worked
perfectly until i went to remove the wood, a piece of wood got sideways as I
was knocking it out, and that's what scratched it. no biggie, it's out of
view. i'm not that particular about scratches etc, but I guess I figured
the first scratches on a fresh job were notable.

Gordon:
A friend showed me a good trick to preserve the paint. Instead of putting
the engine in the frame, put the frame on the engine. Lay the eng./trany on
its side and prop up w/ wooden blocks. This allows the frame to be
positioned over the eng./trany easily w/o damage to the paint. It's a lot
easier on the back too!!
