When I port 39-48 blocks, I bolt to the half bellhousing area - as I need to be able to rotate the block to get the best porting angle. I only do this with just a bare block (doesn't weigh that much). Once I start putting the engine together, then I switch over to an exhaust mounted style (from Stumpy's).

I love the exhaust mounted version for assembly work on the front and rear of the engine -- tilt it up and put the flywheel, clutch and transmission on . . . makes a lot of tasks really easy.
