We used a large tow 6 inch tow strap wrapped around the core support and removed the rad. bracket/lower air tray peice. BTW check this **** out, nothing like using $50K worth of hi-lows to pull an LS1 out of the bottem. It did work awsome and we had it out in a couple of hours.

Had it out in like two hours, went back together even quicker. That is why we did it that way at least.
