I have the motor ready to pull, where should I bolt that chain to that is safe?? I pulled my other one from where the bell housing bolts and the alternator...I am pulling this one with the trans connected and I am not sure where to pull from...Can't do the exhaust manifolds cause the pressure will crack my valve covers....

With the tranny hooked up.I used the two bolts where the alt went..And one bolt hole on the rear of each head..

The easiest way is using a tilter (which has 4 lift points) and really helps pulling and installing the motor/trans combo..

Just doesn't seem safe lifting all that weight from those wholes in the aluminum heads...
