I have an engine leveler that I bolt to the back side of the drivers side
head... ok wait nevermind... I just realized your heads are off the block.
Hmm well you could bolt chains to the back of the block where the
bellhousing bolts go, but with the heads removed - not sure where you can
colt to at the front.
I've never pulled an engine without heads on it (yet), dont know if you can
at the head bolt holes - I dont see why you cant really.
