Buying an engine hoist seems to not be happening, here. Anyone have a ballpark of how much weight we're talking about, for a pretty much complete engine? I'm starting to ponder just chaining the bugger to a couple of 2x6s and inviting many friends to come dead-lift the sucker out of there

Unfortunately, it would have to be pushed out of the garage first, as there's literally 6" around the car right now... But many hands would make light work of that, too.
