There are a few ways this can be done, the engine itself doesn't have actual lift points. Best and easiest way is to buy one of these: http://www.z1motorsports.com/product_in ... ts_id=2940 other than that I've seen people use tow rope under all 6 intake runners and I used to personally use a spreader bar/bracket assembly that my dad and I fabbed years ago mounted to the 4 bolts (2 either side) of the intake manifold.

No worries, and honestly for the price the Ramey slinger can't be beat. Its not the greatest workmanship, its just some stock square tube and flatplate and a couple of bolts but it does the job very well. Hell if you have a welder at your disposal you could make one.
