Re: How to pull a straight six?
That setup looks a lot safer than connecting to a couple of smaller bolts in shear.
I've seen the results of a couple of engines that dropped after a bolt broke because it was stressed beyond it's capabilities when the engine was being lifted. Both were sixes too.
I'd be a bit cautious with the hookup that low though as the center of gravity is going to be higher than where the chains are connected and if they are too close to straight across from each other the engine may want to tilt to one end or the other on it's own.
