I have a 29 + a 30 , and sevral parts cars and trucks, I once traded a engine block striped with main bearing caps ,sent the engine block UPS! I belive it's weight was 140 LBS two people can lift a 29 engine with crank pistons cam,ect ,with out the head very easily,
The head bolts make a good place to lift, I think I lifted my 29 engine complete using a chain bolted to the valve cover studs, but I'd wouldn't do that now .
Do you have the shop manual? The original Chevrolet manual tells and shows pictures of pulling the engine , also there is repo "SERVICE BULLITENS" available, very helpful.
