Best Way to Hoist an Engine

Thanks for the suggestions. I like the carb plate idea. Will the stress of the engine weight not do damage to the carb mount holes? Also, will it be too difficult to use the carb plate if the transmission is also bolted to the engine? Where would I be able to pick up one of those plates if I decide to give that a try?

Krazy, I appreciate all the pictures. My only concern would be it looks like you mounted your chains to the four corners of your intake. That is what I am trying to avoid.
