I use head bolts to attach the chain sling to. In a pinch I've also wrapped a strap around the exhaust manifolds but I've been told (and agree) that its not a good idea since manifolds are prone to breaking. That said when I pulled the 302 and with the AOD trans still attached out of an '83 van I bought for the engine and trans I used a carb lifting plate. No issues.
