You can't figure out how to mount your engine to the stand?

Using the transmission bellhousing bolt holes is usually the best way.

You use four long bolts with washers and bolt it to where four of the bellhousing bolts went. The legs hold the motor away from the stand to make space for clutches, flexplates and the like that you find on a variety of motors.

Yep, you use the back of the block where the bellhousing attaches. You will probably need to run down to the hardware store for some bolts that are long enough. Be sure that you use washers too.

Here is how I attached my Subaru motor to my stand:
