I removed a V8 recently and it had a removal loop bracket bolted into the first two header bolts on the passenger side. Maybe get one of those?

Yes, on that side. I looked on eBay but cannot find anything. Maybe try a wrecker?

It won't fit with the bigger XR header pipes, that's why they're not on any XR's.

Remove the headers and space them with washers. In any event, it is good practice to replace the cast iron type header bolts/studs (that may bend and break while lifting) with stronger high tensile bolts for the lifting exercise and puts the cast type bolts, that expand and contract with the headers, back when you put the headers back on.

That's what I did.
I mentioned it so people with XR8's will know why they don't have them.

An old seatbelt tied around the pipes works great.

I undid the bolt that goes through the chassis, one spanner on the rear to jam it from moving, ratchet on the front. Then I removed the mounts from the engine once it was out.

I would say this would be the easiest way when putting the new engine in since they will help locate the engine to the chassis.
