I'm sitting here wondering where my brackets are while we wait for some snow to melt. In order to kack it, we have 3/8 inch angle iron 18 inches long with welded back to back, and a half inch 6 x 6 inch flat welded to the bottom edge to place a jack under them. The angle irons have thirty or more holes in them to place 1.2 inch lags so we can lift the post.
Once in place, a few scabs of 2 x 8 will hold them in place. Your 8 x 8 plate is not anchored to the rock wall anyway.
Any place you must tie into a cross member, just scab some 2 inch lumber along side, and nail well. The pin that holds the mortice together is only a 1 1/2 at the most, if even that, so there isn't alot of strength there to speak of anyway.
As a side note, I just had a long discusion with a customer / farmer last night that was trying to figure out how to lift the jacking beam into place with a skid loader while we place the jacking posts.
I said I do not need any help other than dragging the beam into place on the floor. We just take a couple saw horses up in the mow, and place a 6 x 6 across the top of them. I then cut a three inch hole in the floor boards to alow my little 1/2 ton chain hoist to drop down to the basment floor. This also serves as abuffer in case a jack should kick out.
A little half ton chain hoist will lift a RR beam 16 inches by 14 inches 28 ft long with out a struggle.
You should also be aware that you will probably hear alot of poping / cracking noises while doing the project, so wear old underware that can be discarded if need be.

Today's Featured Article - A Cautionary Tale - by Ian Minshull. In the early 1950s my father bought an Allis Chalmers B and I used it for all the row crop work with the mangolds and potatoes, rolling and the haymaking on our farm. The farm and the Allis were sold and I have spent a lifetime working on farms throughout the country. I promised myself that one day I would own an Allis. That time event
