connecting engine to hoist
I was wondering how to connect the engine to the hoist, I didn't buy a lift plate, I have a load leveler. So I need to connect the chains in four places, It looked like there was a hole in the top of each head that might make a good place, so I thought I could just buy some bolts and stick them in there to lift the engine. Will that work or is there a better way?

I've done it with just two bolts on opposite sides of the intake. One in the front and the other in the back on the other side.

I have also done it like ChevyDude.
The pic is from when I reinstalled the engine and transmission in my 1980 Camaro Z28 last winter.

Load levelers are great to use, better when putting back in as well.

I use the end intake manifold bolt holes with the load-leveler. I use 4 grade-5 bolts that are 1/2" or so longer than the intake bolts, through the end links of the chain, using washers between the bolt heads & chain links.

I use to do it by both those methods, then built a plate to bolt on the carb studs. No more problems, and not broken bolts.
