Hands up for a 'rebuild weekend'?! (21/22 Feb '04)

That's it guys... after a lot of thought and planning, the rebuilt 3S-GTE engine will be going into my RAV4 very soon. All I have to do is find a place to stash the front-cut while the engine gets rebuilt in January. All I need here is just one volunteer with a little bit of space (pref. undercover).
Once the engine has been rebuilt, I'm going to need as much help as humanly possible in swapping my old 3S-FE stocker for a modded 3S-GTE with different computer, etc. Some of the things that will be required to reassemble into my ride are:
- new 3S-GTE sump. I've been told by Toyota that mine won't hold enough oil to do a straight swapover.
- switch gearbox end-housing from mine to the ST205 box.
- maybe using a Hilux rear diff to better suit the different gear ratios.
- swap out half-shafts, bearings and CV boots for stronger alternatives (to be advised)
- wiring up new gauges, turbo timer, etc.
- other things that will spring up in due course... 
If it's at all possible, I'd like to TRY and get most of these things installed over a weekend. So I've planned 2 months in advance. Ideally, I'd like to have as many people working with me on this as possible, and somewhere to do it with a barbie as well. I'll provide the meat and beers for the day.  If I don't get much interest in this project, then I'd like to have as many of those who know about 3S-GTE engines / ST205 drivetrains as possible.
Over 2 years I've been planning this conversion (as well as the rest of the car), and here is where I need the MOST help. If you can help out here, please come up with ideas for a venue for the weekend so it can run as smoothly as possible.
Thanks in advance guys... cheers.
