That is what I do myself. I like the tilter. Engine alone or with trans connected.It makes it an easy 1 man job.
IF the heads are off, attach the chain so it can swivel. Bolt all the way down. One chain up front and one to the back or if a single chain, cross one side to the other.
If the heads are on, attach to ether the intake bolt holes in the head or the front /back of the head.
