Shove the same bolts you used to lift the engine with back in the EGR holes.

when we took the mach 1's old engine out, we used some brackets that were basically a peice of angle iron with holes drilled in both surfaces, one bolted to a corner intake bolt (so they were across from each other) and then we put a chain on the hook of our cherry picker, and then bolted the chain to those brackets, seemed to work well...

thinking about it, id prefer the accessory/thermactor holes, bigger bolts=less likely to break
