I just did this last month....LOL
Years ago, I cut a couple of pieces of 2" angle iron (a couple of pieces of unistrut angle will also work and they have the holes already there), drilled a hole on each side of each piece.
I got some short bolts the same thread pitch as the head bolts and bolted the angle iron to the block where the head bolts go diagonally opposite each other and sitting flat against the block surface. Then, used a chain coupler to fasten a piece of chain to em in the other hole and used the hoist to lift it up and slide it on in.
FWIW, those pieces permanently stay stored with my hoist & engine stand hardware.
Actually, if you can find a couple of strong young fellas to help ya, you can lift a completely stripped out SB by hand.
At 67, I'm not about to do that anymore....I'll use the hoist. :)
