In installed mine by myself with the head, exhaust manifold, and gearbox
attached. With the gearbox attached, you need to tilt it almost vertical.
After watching Bruce Phillips sling my freshly rebuilt engine around in his
shop suspended from brackets attached to the valve cover bolts, I figured
they were safe lifting points.

I don't think there is a "right and wrong" on this one.... I personally
found it easier to install the head when the engine was still on the engine
stand. .....But then, I also installed the engine, head, intake manifolds,
engine mounts and trans as a unit, through the opening in the primered
shroud!! Not recommended, (but done successfully).
