Pulling Engine out the TOP?

I have the heads, intake and ALL the stuff off the front. I have to replace the clutch and motor mounts. SO I was wondering where to hook the chain to pull the engine out?

Just use a couple head bolts to bolt down the chain. One towards the front of one side, one towards the rear of the other side.

Been done to tens of thousands of engines over the years.

In a situation like this there is nothing like a $40 "Happy Hooker" from TPIS...if they even still make the thing.

lmao, wtf was I thinking Then what was stated before is definatly the best way seeing as how the "hooker" attaches to something that you simply dont have right now, lol.

Thanks to ALL that replied!!! I was not planning on taking it out. But now that i have it all apart and see how little it would take to get it out, I figure why not ,it would be easyer to change the cam and motor mounts.
