Attachment points for hoisting engine & trans Topic is solved

Post by **Sveedy** » 08 Aug 2021, 19:09

I'm almost ready to lift out the engine, and I was wondering about the obvious. Where to attach the chains to lift it ? I have read the tutorial here on how to remove the engine, but most of the pictures don't download for some reason. It refers to attaching a link on the passenger side, but without a pic I don't know what he was doing. Roberts video seems to show a strap being used somehow. So where are the best points on the block to bolt chains / straps to lift everything up and out ? The load leveler has some angle brackets on it, but I don't see them bolting up anywhere.

There should be a lifting point over on the accessory bracket area on the passenger side of the engine by the PS pump, and one by the upper torque mount on the driver side.

Thanks much ! ! So do I disconnect the torque mount from the firewall ( looks like a PITA ) or just pull the center bolt ? Seems like the whole torque mount arm will be in the way unless I remove it.

Just remove it from the mount the firewall (the one vertical bolt), as well as from the engine itself.

The picture posted is of an RN (99+) engine, so the location points are a bit different, but still in the same location.
