[Shotimes] lifting an engine

[Bruce Malachuk]

I use the intake bracket bolts on the heads. Gives 4 nice evenly spaced
places to lift from. I lift every engine that way and never bend bolts or
have munged up the threads.

I've removed the lift bracket on my 94 cause it's easier to balance the
engine via those intake bracket bolts, plus Ford supplies them foir you free
of charge :-)

PS JVO-

Bolt the armature thingie from the stand to the bellhousing while the block
is on the floor. Now you can just lift up the engine and slide the arms into
the stand. Easy as cake (if you have an engine hoist).
A bit of a PITA if you don't. :)
