[Shotimes] lifting an engine

[Donald Mallinson]

Joseph,

use the lift hook on the front, and the lower bolt on the opposite end 
of the intake support bracket.  Be sure to not put too much strain on 
the intake.  I bought a used engine and I think before I bought it they 
lifted and put too much pressure on the manifold and the runners broke 
at the flat mounting point.  Use one of those adjustable chain/screw 
things that lets you adjust the front/back weight, but more important it 
spreads the chains out to the edges so you don't put as much strain on 
the intake.
