I'll order some plus gas, plugs and you're right, I'll do some engine painting first.

Support the engine.. I use a trolly jack and a block of wood.
Like this but with a larger square of wood. One thats ideally a bit larger than the bottom of the sump.
I got an offcut of Oak from my local wood shop for free (I put a couple of quid in their 'tea fund') that was just the right size
Maybe you have something knocking around though, piece of wood from some old furnature etc.

Re: NC30 Engine Swap Procedure
Well, I'm a carpenter and I work in a pine furniture workshop so I'm sure finding a bit of wood won't be a problem
