Pick points for engine removal

[Dead Man]

Hey guys Im swaping out my motor this weekend and I was looking at it yesterday and noticed these motors dont have the nice littel steel pick points for hoisting the motor. Where is the best attchment points on these motors for hoisting? Thanks in advance

use a bell housing bolt and attach chain to the heads, attach one side to the back head and the other side to the front opposite head

Thank you sir .

Don't be super rough with the motor with them in the heads. We broke a bolt off in the head yanking on a v6 one time lol.

Thanks guys any idea off hand what size those bolts are? I'm going to need to pick some up so I can get the new motor out of my truck lol

I used regular old 3/8 bolts in the front of the back of the heads to pull the 4.3 and drop in the 5.3. They also make lift plates that go in place of the valley cover for the LS engines.

M10. I'm sure you'll be taking accessories off, so use one of those. Or like chvy=power said, use the bell housing bolts.
