Default Super NooBie Question

Here goes... How do you mount the engine hoist to the engine? Or actually where do you mount it? I cant seem to find where to mount it on the back of the M50 engine. Pics would be great. Thanks!

theres a hole in the block just above the gearbox near the starter motor. The front is obvious. The rear chain needs to be longer than the front to ensure the engine hangs level.

I just bought a tow strap rated for a couple tons and wrapped it around the engine.
