My son and I are attempting to pull the 2.3l out of his car to swap with a running 5.0l 4spd out of a donor with some minor tune ups and suspension refreshes. However I am struggling to find out where to attach the load leveler for my engine hoist to the motor. This is the exact one I have Harbor Freight 3/4 ton leveler .
I can see where to bolt it to on the front sides of the engine, as there are some nice bolts that drive directly in to the engine block however there is absolutely nothing I can see on the back/sides? I have pulled the exhaust manifold, and can use one of the manifold bolt locations in the rear, but there there is nothing substantial on the intake side of the little engine.
I have pulled a 350 or two many years ago, however i had a intake plate to mount to, not this time. Any tips would be greatly helpful. I am sure i am just missing something obvious.
