The engine is ready to come out... except, there's no goddamn place to lift it from!

Van, how do you chain that bitch up? The hooks are way too large to hook on anything on the motor, and there's only the one decent looking spot next to the alternator. The shop manual shows a "wire rope" attached to hooks that simply don't exist on the motor... am I supposed to have some stupid metric screw in hooks or something?

I tried to use a strap looped over the intake manifold, but after putting some tension on it, I could hear the straps tearing since the sides of the manifold are sharp.

So seriously, WTF?

And why is it so impossible to find a single picture of a WRX motor being lifted out of a car? Google, ScoobyMods and NASIOC are all failing me. This is pissing me off.
