Best place to attach engine hoist to ka24e?

[Two Fowty]

Well for most of you who saw all my other newb threads, you know that I am swapping my engine over to a new shell. You all said I'd never do it, but I am, and I'm ready to pull the engine. Just have a few questions, where's the best place to attach the engine hoist? I plan on pulling the engine alone, not the engine and the transmission together.

Here's a few pics of my engine before the pull. The shell I got had a blown engine so we're taking that out in about an hour. But I'll update with more pics as I go.







Here is my car:

And here is the car I'm putting my engine and transmission in:



has two diff wheels to see what looks best

Shews

just wrap a chain around your intake and exhaust mani.

Why would you take out the engine without the transmission still on? Its alot easier with it. But hey don't listen to me, you don't listen to anyone anyways. And was it really necessary to post useless pictures?

anyways.... alright, yea i got it attached to the engine and ready to lift, i had to work so i was delayed a good 4 hours, but i hope to get it out still tonight, although it is dark.

and i planned on taking it out with the transmission but my dad said he wants to do it separate, so whatever.

hey i listened when told to buy a shell, and im listening now, hence the reason I'm asking questions, to listen to answers.. so continue your fail flame and rant elsewhere about how better at being a fail you are than others, eh?

[ZOMG.SR20]

LISTEN pull it with the transmission it will save you so much trouble

[Two Fowty]

what kind of trouble are we talking?

and to pull it with the transmission, ive gotta remove the shifter, what else will i need to do then?

edit: i already have all the sensor/plugins unplugged from the transmission

[tramp_drift240]

lol. screw pulling the motor and transmission together.

ive swapped motors in my car(s) a number of times, and i always pull the motor out by itself.

you guys are weeeeeak haters too. learn how to flame.

I think that its much easier to pull both engine and transmission together also. It just makes it easier to line up the transmission and get to all the engine to transmission bolts with out being under the car with all kinds of dirt and s*** falling in your eyes. Good luck however you decide to go about it.

[Two Fowty]

so im getting different answers. which way should i go?!

pros and cons of pulling with/without transmission anyone?

[tramp_drift240]

pulling and installing WITH the transmission, you still have to undo the driveshaft, and probably spill transmission fluid everywhere.

and you have to do a huge swooping motion to get it in there right.

i think that makes it a pain in the a**.

my two cents.

[Two Fowty]

i guess that makes sense, im sure getting the new engine in would be a bish.

[White Comet]

this is easily the best spot to secure teh hoist, you can clearly see how strong that weld is

[Two Fowty]

lol, of course, such an obvious place

[White Comet]

i thought you'd like that and the pic was too good to pass up
