Best Way to Hoist an Engine

I've used chains (if you don't have a leveler) bolted in an x pattern connecting the two endings of the heads (firewall side and radiator side), then placed hook even between the two chains. But you have to remove the alternator and such for this. I've also used a leveler bolted into the four farthest separated intake bolts. You can mix match both ways with a chain or leveler. But either way you will need a hoist of some kind, unless you're a real real strong guy.
