    A lot of guys swear by the carb plate ones, but I'm like you, just a little leery about 4 quarter inch bolts holding an engine up. Mine is shadetree, but strong. I took a piece of 3 x 3 angle iron about 2 feet long, drilled holes in each corner and mounted 4 heavy pieces of chain hanging down. Then I put another chain looped in the middle so it can hook onto the engine lift hook. I run 4 bolts (one in the front of each head and one in the back of each head) so the engine is suspended at four points. It isn't pretty, but I can pick up 460 Fords and 394 Olds engines without worrying about dropping one.
