How to get an engine on an engine stand

[Tatey]

I'm going out to buy myself an engine stand from machine mart later on. I was just wondering how you go about getting the engine (1.8 cvh) onto the engine stand, without an engine hoist or similar?

My plan was to install the engine on the stand while the engine was on the ground and then with a help of a friend or 2, tip the stand upright. Does this sound at all sensible to anyone?

Cheers
