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.
