There has been some recent notes about pulling an engine with and
without the tranny. I removed my engine w/ the tranny to replace the
transmission tail shaft seal. I took it out by attaching a chain to
each of the rocker cover bolts. That was cumbersome. To put the
engine back in I thought about buying an engine leveler, but after
reading user reviews I found that the reviews were mixed. So I welded
up a "T" cross section lifting bar and used just one chain to suspend
the engine. I found that setup worked quite well when putting the
engine back in. The engine was very easily maneuvered on the single
chain. I added a pic to my album listed below. The suspension point
is about 2-3/8" behind the front rocker cover bolt. A bit closer to
the front would be better - just a little bit better.
