Drop the k frame and support the engine.
It’s a tad more work Up front BUT radiator can stay, coolant can stay, you just need to support the engine. I’ve done it both ways and both suck. I feel bad you have to do it.

I agree with this, but again specialized equipment- shop crane cones to mind. If you have it, pull engine. Then throw it on the stand and flip it. In the end, it makes for a better quality job,and improves the chance of a good leakproof job. The pros outweigh everything.
