Get some big strong bolts with big nuts and some big washers and put em through where the bellhousing bolts go through. You'll prolly think the bolts will snap but it's the way it's designed

nah it wouldnt hold the weight of the engine

You want a stand that can hold 500kg. Like with jacks and stands, you want something thats rated about double of what you lifting.
