Pulling motor

When I yanked my 318 out I put a ratchet strap around the T bars and under the bell of the trans....worked great. You do need a jack under the trans to help line it up. What I use for that is a couple of scrap all thread about 6" long with nuts. Get the engine trans "close" and then put 3/8 or 5/16 all thread through the large 7/16 bolt holes in the engine/ bell. this gives you something to "steer with" and line it up easier. I did not remove the hood, but you have to be careful how you hitch up the cherry picker, as there isn't much "headroom" and yo do need to tilt the engine some
