1. put the new engine block in the car
2. remove the engine block with the crane
3. go to the engine stand and add the block

Cannot build an engine from scratch, yet anyway. This may change with tuning DLC, but we shall see.

Currently you always have to pull an engine from a car which you then mount on the crane.

So what I did was pull the engine out of the car, then put a new block in the car, and then pulled that with the engine hoist. Then the new block is recognized as a group of parts, and you can put it on the stand. I always keep a couple spares on hand.

find your self old beat up car with same type of engine, pull said engine from the car and move it over to stand put it on you should be able to rebuild it, sadly can't place stuff on it tell pull engine from a car or etc. wish they allowed you do it just by adding parts instand of pulling rusty engine from car.

In previous game CMS15 tuning dlc added engine blueprints which allowed engine swaps. That game did not have engire crane so you always had to build "in car". If they add blueprints or something similar to this game, I'm hoping, will allow this exact thing.

You add engine groups to the stand, not engine blocks; if you've got a few blocks, you can add them to the car and pull them with the crane to get multiple groups of the same engine.

that only works if the engine comes from the car you buy other wise you can't just build it from scratch I hope they fix that!
