07 fit sport engine install question

I was looking at the engine, and cant really see any place to attach chains to a cherry picker, the engine is on a stand assembled minus the trans, after a rebuild and is ready for re install. when i took it out, i pulled the head and manifolds from the top and lowered the block through the bottom, I looked through the manual, but cant really pin point the lift locations, do any of you know where i should attach the chain, other option is to put it on a jack and install it from the bottom. * i guess i could wrap some tow straps around the pan and block and attach it to the cherry picker. and either bring it up from the bottom or lower it in, and attach the exhaust manifold after its attached to the trans, (thats going to be the fun part ) the trans is already on the mounts in the car, i may remove the trans and attach it all together if it proves to be easier and move forward from there, be it from the bottom, or in through the top.

thanks in advance. cheers

Cory Jo!

so to follow up, i just bolted it to either manifold side in the corners of the head, i removed the fuel rail and one of the coils, as to not damage them. from the chain i used.

i attempted to install it from the top, and then the bottom, lol man.. that was rough.. word of advise, take the trans out.


but engine is in the bay and mounted, and shouldn't be much longer. thanks

none of that has anything to do with that i posted
