While H4, when you remove the exhaust header, you can lift it by headcovers/headers. If you wanna use lifter, you can use any part of H4 to lift it: Manifold, near alternator, lil bit below the throttle, if you take off the manifold, there's few hook area. While I4 engines are vertical and don't have much place to put your hands on (I, myself only lifted three I4 engines, so IDK too much).

oh i didnt express my self properly. i meant picking it up strictly by hand, and i have never picked up a engine by a manifold (intake or exhaust..) every I4 i picked up was by the bottom and rest it against me while carrying (cradeled from front/end by forearms, one side by torso and holding it by the bottom of crank case) its easy for me that way. i have never picked up a H4 by hand. i was refering to more of a 2.5L V6 (150cu") rather than a 454 (good work for picking that up btw)
