I'm ready to put a 250 back in my truck. After just having it rebuilt, I'm not sure I want o loosen and use the head bolts for pick points. Any suggestions on where to hook the chain hoist?

Or....is it perfectly alright to use the head bolts?

Wrap a chain around the intake manifold towards the rear & put a bolt in the coil mounting bolt hole. Balances out real good.

Just want to thank all of you for this information. I will be removing my 292 this summer & was wondering what was the best way to do it.

Do you mean it says remove rockers or rocker cover?
