Keith Browning Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 I ran across that a long time ago and I fabricated a lifting bracket that sat down in the valley. I fit it to go over the mounts for the fuel filter assembly and then drilled holes to mount bolt it down with grade 8 bolts. I then bolted a chain right to the center of the plate. with the hoist chained up fairly low like that the engine would tilt toward as the upper oil reservoir rested on the hoist that I used to use. If you make one do it right and use thick enough steel and respect the almost 900Lb's of iron on the end of your hoist. I definitely recommend the lifting brackets that bolt to the front of the engine. They are SWEET! (and a lot safer) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
