I am amazed that this thread has gone this far without anyone mentioning "The 
Rope Trick"! 

Stuff a length of rope into one of the cylinders (one near the bottom of its 
rotation) until the cylinder is full of rope. Then use the starter motor to 
break the head gasket seal and lift the head off the block. No need for cranes, 
pulleys, explosives, or a Sky-hook.
