Nope, nobody's done it here..... But seriously, if you have the intake off, thet's the most easily damaged part, I just put a chain at the rear of one head to the front of the other. Nothing to it, don't sweat it.

what if I bolt them to the head holes on the back and front of heads?

I use an engine leveler and run two bolts on each head - one in front, one in back on each side.

Make sure you use short bolts so you don't bent the bolt and take the chance of messing up the threads in the heads but other wise you're fine.

Mine was too close to the firewall to use the back ones, that's why I had to use the sides....you might have the room.....
