lift points on a 4.0 block

I'm swapping a 4.0 in place of the 2.5 in my MJ. Got the engine/tranny all ready to go back in but can't figure out any good spots on the 4.0 block to attach the lift chains. I don't have a leveler, but am wanting to lift the assembly from around the rear of the block/bellhousing area so I can clear the framehorns and top of the tranny tunnel. Any suggestions on where/how to hook to the block?

TIA,

Jeff
 
i have bolted a chain to the top of the head next to the valve cover in the past. grade 8 with washers
 
I could do that for the driverside, but there's nothing on the pass side unless I sling under the oilpan, which I don't want to do.

Ideally, I'd like to do something like this guy did with this Chebby 250. I can use the starter bolts on the pass side, but nothing on the driverside unless I use the bottom bellhousing bolt which I really wouldn't want to do:
