Problem Using Cherry Picker

My stock L82 Intake manifold had the 2 brackets mounted on it that would allow you to attach the hook and chain to the cherry picker.
I have switched to a Professional Products Intake and now my 2 bolt bracket that I pulled off that manifold will not line up on any two holes side by side on the new Intake manifold for me to be able to have a place to "grab" .
What is a guy to do about this??

Just get some grade 8 bolts with washers and run them into the heads through the ends of the chains.

If you can't get to the back of the head because of firewall clearance, you can do the same thing with a couple of long grade 8 bolts through the intake manifold into the cylinder head.
