Hey guys, I'm a fairly new guy here on the forums. Bought my first sc a few months ago with blown head-gaskets. Was fortunate enough to find one in fairly decent shape, especially the undercarriage, in my area. Finally started work on the engine a couple weeks ago, but can only get a couple of hours in a week, so its a slow process. After the motor is out, torn apart and hopefully sent to Dave Dalke , I'll be looking to completely repaint the car, take care of any visible rust under the car, and refresh the interior. Suspension will most likely be a winter project. I'll be using this thread for most of my questions. I will try to post some pictures of the process as well.
For the first question, where do I attach the engine hoist chains to pull the engine. Was looking for the "lift eyes" but there is none. Is it all right to wrap the chains around the exhaust manifolds? I'll be pulling the engine with the tranny attached. Quick answers appreciated, looking to pull the motor tomorrow.
