Default engine removal from top without head attached?

I have the tranny and head removed. The engine hoist is in place but I am having trouble finding a spot solid enough to hook a cable to. Any suggestions on this. Thanks in advance.

With one of these:

Use 2 head bolts, screw them all the way in and lift it out.

Note: I was sure I was not going to use that engine so you might not want to do it that way - or get new head bolts just in case.
Allthough the block is not that heavy.

what i did and worked pretty good for me i took a strap and bolted one side with exhaust manifold mounting bolt by the engine mount. its a 14mm bolt and the other one i tied over the accessory bracket that holds alternator and ac compressor. or once i tied it around intake manifold, but since your head is out you dont have manifold in place. so accessory mount. or like the other guy said 2 head bolts and use leveler.
