I don't have any experience with lifting aluminum engines so I'd like a little advice from someone that has. I was planning on bolting my 2 lift chains to the uppermost inside bolt hole on the end of the heads. I don't know my mm sizes but it's about a 3/8 bolt using standard. I just don't want to break anything. Thanks, Steve

Can anyone help me with the previous question? I don't want to pull a chunk out of my heads. I will be lifting the 2 chains with a cherry picker. Thanks.

Are the heads still on the car?

Tne heads are on the engine which is on an engine stand and I'm ready to lift the engine and move it into the car. Thanks.

That makes it a little more difficult. I normal do it with the larger head bolts. The holes for the P/S pump and A/C you could use those. The holes on the back of the heads are the same but I dont know how you will get the chain to clear the cowl. I wouldnt even try the intake or header bolt holes. Sorry I cant think of a good spot. You could drop the k-member put it on that the lift the car up and drop it on the motor and k-member.

Actually I am just moving the engine onto a '55 chevy chassis. It doesn't have any of the front accessories on it. Thanks.

That should work then.
