There are quite a few.
Just google portable single post lift.
The one pictured is by eagle equipment- mobile man 6000
But the specs say not good for low vehicles.
The brand Fieroguru posted has a portable model with a min height of 4 1/2”. Same as the bolt down model.
Amgo SML-6

Correct.
I don't have room for the pallet jack components on the backside. The mast needs to be as close to the wall as possible.

Moved the mockup drivetrain to the floor and put the original drivetrain on the cradle fixture.
The original drivetrain placement is about 1/8" lower, 1/8" closer to the passenger side, and 1/4" further to the rear than the placement for the mockup drivetrain.
The primary reason for the change in placement is to better nestle the F40 into the factory notch on the driver side frame rail w/o moving it like I did with my original swap
Now I need to disassemble everything to separate the engine...

I got everything torn down and disassembled. I still need to wash the engine a little more before I put it on the engine stand for disassemby...
Besides all the performance upgrades, I am hoping to find enough options for using aluminum vs. steel to offset the 30+ lbs I will be adding with the turbo.

Been busy...
The New Era camshaft and 12 of the 16 roller lifters were a little worse for wear... Good thing I won't be reusing any of them.
It was a good thing that the DoD lifter let loose before this got much worse and caused more significant damage.
Now on to some upgrade work...

Defective heat treatment on the camshaft? That looks way outside the realm of normal wear.

Probably something like that. The OEM rollers didn't look that bad. Just some galling on the edges of some.
I am not sure if it is just marketing nonsense or has some merit, but I am now seeing custom cam mfgs speaking of dedicated cores for each camshaft and specifically state this is so that less of the heat treated surface is ground away at the final processing steps. What I read into this is that some of the mid lift cams might have needed more grinding from a high lift core and ground too much of the heat treated surface away...
Who really knows at this point. Just glad it was caught before major damage to the engine.
I need to check the markings on the cam, I am pretty sure it was a comp cam core that New Era has someone grind for them.
