[Healeys] Dropped the engine - source for manifold-carb, studs?

Late to the discussion but I do have some pictures to show how I rigged 
up my motor+gearbox install.

The main lifting was done with L brackets attached to rocker shaft studs 
but also had two brackets bolted to manifold studs as 'insurance'.  Note 
a couple details which made the job easier. The gear shift top plate was 
removed and the opening covered with tape. This made it easier to get 
through the firewall opening. There is a blue nylon strap attached 
between the hoist and motor that was adjusted during the tilting. This 
helped keep the motor from swinging too much when moving the hoist.
