I also used a top brace with a chain hooked to the lift point by the throttle body to give more stability as I lifted the motor. I didn't lift the motor a huge amount as I had positioned it and lowered the car on top of the motor. I lifted the motor using a large 2x12 screwed to my jack pad. I also strapped the motor to the 2x12 pad. Between the chain hoist and the jack it was fine.
One thing also that helped me was I made some long threaded rod pieces that I screwed into the motor mount threaded holes in the body and used them as guide rods as I lifted the motor. Once lifted I unscrewed the threaded rod and installed the motor mount bolts.
