Ok, I got what was left of the engine out today without the use of an engine hoist. You would be amazed what a jack, some ratchet straps, bricks, a prybar, and a lot of determination can do. I got it all ready to be pulled in 1 hour, and spent 1.5 hours actually getting it out. I ended up calling 3 friends over to assist me in removing it. Together we lifted it out. I also think that the previous owner's assumption that the block is cracked is incorrect. I think maybe the timing chain wore thru the timing cover letting oil mix with the water. Sorry for the crappy pics.
