Dang Richard, now I realize I didn't take any photos of how I arranged the engine lift. To summarize, I removed the intake manifold and bolted a tight chain from one head to the other across the middle.

Also tried to put the RV at a height where the crane beam was as level as possible when the engine was lifted as high as it would go.
PM me if what I've written here isn't clear.
