Try a tool hire shop. If you have a shed/garage with a substantial well placed beam, there's the option of using a differential pulley block.

I dont really want to chance it, the engine weighs around the 300kg mark. Also its cast Iron so I really dont want to drop it!

Ill try a tool hire thanks

I saw hoists in Lidl a few days ago, didn't notice the load capacity however.

Ive nowhere to store a hoist, and e60 is cheaper than e150, leaves more money for nice parts to make more power:D
