Default Best place to bolt engine hoist chain..

Where is the best spot to grab the engine in an Fbody.. I've read about using the front & rear head bolt "holes" in the sides of the heads.. But I'm a little iffy about lifting the engine by a set of torque to yield bolts.. (Maybe I'm stupid for thinking so.. )


Any other spots?

Btw, I'm supporting the engine while I drop the K-member to replace the oil pan.

they heads are fine. theres plent of bolts in them things and the engines arent extreemly heavy.

btw, i dont see a tubular k,member in that sig. sound like a good time to me.
