I made an engine hoist jig to lift my RB30 onto a stand. A piece of 1.5" thick wall pipe, with two pieces of angle. One bolted each end to form an 'I'. Had holes drilled on each end of the angle. I used a combination of small D shackles and cut 4 pieces of chain to different lengths so that the engine sat at the correct angle when lifted. I welded a a bit of angle along the top of the pipe with a series of holes so the lift point could be adjusted to suit the centre of gravity.
Last I cut and drilled 4 bits of angle to attach at each bit of chain so that they could be bolted to a couple of inlet and exhaust manifold studs each.
Or you can order something similar on line.
