Engine hoist chain locations?

[shady240]

hey guys, tomorrows finally the day i rip out the KA and slap in the SR....just one question.....where do i hook the engine hoist chains into on them (KA and the SR)?

well i just pulled mine out and i used the intake manifold and there was like a 14mm bolt by the header cause you need a 45 degree angle so i used those and the sr i used the manifold and took the heater shield off the header and wrapped the chain around that so it should work.

If you are looking straight at the engine, I put one bolt into the back left and then one in the front right. Make sure you use a engine leveler. It makes it much easier.

I put one on the intake and one on the surge tank support bolt on passenger side of engine. I then used two bolts on the head - next to exhaust manifold - towards front. I did however use a load leveler. The engine is pretty light being all aluminum, hope this helps.

both times now I have put (on the sr) one around the front 2 intake runners and the other I bolted to the hole on the ex side that is just below the T in the valve cover that the catch can vac hose goes to... it has worked perfectly. this time I dropped it in in ablout 20 min with no help.

Just make sure to have (within reason) as little slack in the chains as possible, meaning mount the leveler close to the valve cover. Also, don't forget the floor jack to help guide the transmission into place. I don't know if this is your first time dropping in a motor, but if so, my single biggest tip, losen the motor mounts before dropping in the new motor, you will have play in the setup and can get everything to line up. This cost me hours, literally, my firs time.
