I removed a V8 recently and it had a removal loop bracket bolted into the first two header bolts on the passenger side. Maybe get one of those?

Yes, on that side. I looked on eBay but cannot find anything. Maybe try a wrecker?

That's what I did.
I mentioned it so people with XR8's will know why they don't have them.

I undid the bolt that goes through the chassis, one spanner on the rear to jam it from moving, ratchet on the front. Then I removed the mounts from the engine once it was out.
I would say this would be the easiest way when putting the new engine in since they will help locate the engine to the chassis.
