one chain on the upper most middle bellhousing bolt hole and up to hoist then bolt hole in front side of block on driverside and same on pasanger side sould level out the motor

Did you get it? I've got a picture on my website below of the engine coming out with the chains attached.

I bolted the Happy Hooker the cover plate bolt locations under the intake (the plate with the knock sensors in it). Came out like a hot knife through butter. Basically it is an L shaped (probably 60 degrees or so) hook attached to a plate that naturally lets the back of the motor drop down. The plate bolts down with 6 of the cover plate bolts. I took the trany and motor out at the same time. That way you dont have to worry about chains and what not. Just hook and go. I dont have any pics right now.

That is how it is going to go back in as well.

i've seen bolts into the heads (by the grounding points on the back of the heads, and the EGR bracket/power steering pump on the front), but i'm not sure considering i've never done it. just a thought
