I prefer straps or 2 friends. Never use the HE, Exhausts or sheet metal. Preferably the sheet metal should be removed while still on the lower position of a carpet dolly, 4 x 4s or the lowered jack. 2 hefty guys, or 1 wide shouldered strong man holding the bar and about 200 lbs, and another guy in the rear holding the tranny. Use a strap around the tranny, but forward of the tail if possible with 2 more around each bar support arm - watch interference with reverse switch, 90° speedo drive, etc. You can use extended bolts through the magnesium cooler shroud, but the locations escape me, and most folks shudder to think about this.
For a metal engine stand, you need the tranny and flywheel removed for clearance issues as well as obvious attachment points.
Some guys use a home built wooden dolly that allows leaving the majority of the engine in place, using the front mount bar and tranny support flanges as the outrigger supports. The Type IV rattles a bit if not tuned properly, so if running it on a home built dolly, use extended 2 x 4 outriggers to ground on each side like Van's excellent 914 rebuild site shows...
Be Safe.

Can someone show me the best place to hoist my engine from?
I still have the front engine bar... Is that a good place?
