i take 2 bolt out of the bellhousing and drap a chain over the motor diagonally , just make sure you leave sone slack in it so it doesnt put any presure on the in ake or lines. then run the bolt through the chain till it bottoms out. i use the lower holes on the heads. pass side in the back. i use the lower unses so cuz it looks stronger there than higher up(more material around the hole) hope this helps.

If you use the bolt holes on the back of both heads where the picture above indicates it will balance out pretty well with the tranny attach. If no tranny, lift as described above.
