A friend mechanic made something similar. A couple of spark plugs, top broken off and base drilled thru. Brazed or welded a hardware store eye bolt to the plug base. It worked but always wondered about the stress on plug hole threads if were pulled at an angle or with aluminum heads. I think your idea of adding a fixed strap as a handle would be a help but wonder about the off center pickup toward one edge. I actually like the C clamps if there were non slip padding or something to protect some of the big $ paint jobs--although I think undoing the head bolts would be enough to ruin that.
