Does the engine have lifting eyes? If so, that’s what I use. You can run a bolt into the front of the head. There’s several ways to do it

Just buy lifting plates and screw them on the two adjecent corners. Use grade 8 bolts if you are nervous. They are only like $30

Lifting plate bolted to the carb bolts with a harbor freight 1/2ton chain hoist worked like a champ for me. If you have an airgap intake just run a strap through it.

Must work for the local electric power company is all I can think off. Glad its grounded. If not that Baja would be going Baba
