Inliners International Forums General Discussion Engines 292 pick points

Doing an engine swap:
There don't seem to be any visible pick points on the block to hoist my 292s in and out of my '68 Chevy Pickup. No mention in Chevy Chassis Overhaul Manual -- except for an illustration of a special tool set that is a leveling bar with hooks on chains and 2 long eye-bolts.
Does this mean you have to remove one head bolt at each end, replace them with the eyebolts, and hoist the block out? Not a problem for removing the old engine, but what happens to head torque values [95ft/lbs] when installing the rebuilt engine? Do you have to retorque the whole head once it's back on the motor mounts, or just the two headbolts at each end that were removed?
