Where is it recommended that I connect a chain to the motor to pull it up and support it while I swap the k-member? I do not want to pull the motor, only support it with a chain hoist and A frame while I do the k member swap.

 

All right then... No answers. Guess I'll just wrap it around the exaghst manifolds and hope for the best.

 

sheesh, first post at 9pm and then again 2 hours later

there may be lifting hooks on the right front and left rear of the intake manifold

 

Jack stands on the sub frame will more than suffice.

 

he is removing the sub frame.

I am guessing someone removed the factory install lift rings.

You can use the exhaust manifold but if the bolts are really rusty you may end up with a manifold leak. Relative to the weight of the motor any decent bolt 3/8” or larger bolt will work. It is all about balance and leveling. Whenever the factory hooks are removed I like to remove intake bolts and install longer one but since you not removing the intake you should not do that. Next I would look for accessory bolt (front of the motor) and a tranny bolt (opposite side back of the motor.) Since you are just lifting the motor a little you could use 2 bolts up front.

Most important thing is “DO NOT” put anything under the crank pulley to lift it. You can damage the engine.

 

That sounds Awsome, thanks gorn

 

believe me that isnt your best option.there are bolt holes in the ends of the heads that you can bolt a chain to.take your time ,do it right
