Lifting points?
I guess I might as well pull the motor and trans out to get the firewall cleaned up. Where are the best points to grab to pull them out together?

Re: Lifting points?
When I pulled mine I bolted the chain thru the intake manifold bolt holes and into the head in all 4 corners. I also used an engine balancer, which I highly recommend.

Same here - and the balancer/screw is the way to go for sure.

Re: Lifting points?
I pulled my (283) and 4 speed with the last two bolts on the manifold. With all the sheetmetal out of the way it came out easy. I'm sure four bolts and a balancer would be better. It was the first engine I ever pulled and I really had no idea what I was doing. But hay, the bolts held and it's out
