In a message dated 98-10-27 21:46:05 EST, you write:

<< Looking at the engine block from the side, with the flywheel to your
 left and the timing chain to the right I will assign the following stud
 location numbers:
 
 Left to Right, Top Row:   1,2,3,4
 
                Bottom Row 5,6,7,8.
 
 OK listers, which studs gets the big clamps, and which studs gets the
 little ones?  Stud 5 looks like it helps hold the lifting eye, and stud
 8 looks like it doesn't get a clamp.
 
 Please help! >>

Put the exhaust manifold on first and hold it temporarily with the 2 outside
nuts (5,8)
Then "offer up" (I love this little phrase) the intake manifold. I think it
helps to have the two studs that connect to the exhaust out here. When in
place the location of the "teeter toters" is pretty evident, but from memory I
will say 6 & 7 get the big clamps, 1 thru 4 get little clamps, 5 gets the
hoist bracket, and 8 gets nothing.
Hand tighten everything and then put the studs in the intake manifold from
below. 

Good luck
