Im sending my engine to get measured and ported... I need some advice

hey guys its me once again bringing down the house and raising the roof.. hahaha

i should get my engine out in about 2 hours.. ( i have been working on it since sunday.. It's taking me so long because im dumb and i didn't have the jack stands until yesterday.. anyways it should be a brezze ( the tranny and engine bolts )( yeah ok).. well after that this is MY REAL PROBLEM!!
I have to take apart the block and i don't have anything to hold it against.. i don't have an engine stand.. is there a way to take it apart with out one? any ghetto way? also like my thread reads im sending it to jacksonville, fl to get it ported and measured.. Im gonna have to put piece by piece every way in my car so it balances out the weight.. but should i just soaked in warm water and soap?? i don't know what to do to get them so they won't stain my dad's car or smell like gas all the way from where i live to jacksonville? any ideas? I don't wanna do all the cleaning rigth now i just think it would be worthless since he is porting it and the tiny bits will get everywhere even maybe on the grooves of the housings... what should i do?.. ALSO the BRuce Terrence rebuild video is insane!!!!!! it has all this crazy stuff i don't have liek al this tools and stuff there has to an EL CHEAPO way right? fine fine ill search the threads...

Just get you some parts cleaner and clean it, and where your taking it will prob do the finall cleaning just get it somewhat clean. Then put it in trash bags and put it in your car, that way no dirt or degreaser will get on your dads car. You dont really have to have anything to take the motor apart with, but you will prob want to get an engine stand with a rotary engine adapter so you can assemble this thing properly.

err

ghettorebuilding is NOT the way to do things.

Unless you want your car to run for an hour or two and then die, you MUST do it right.
