Hi and thanks. Yeah, we did use those bolts. At the factory they actually used a special lift plate with two holes...one for the engine without the trans on it and one with, and got the right balance front to rear I am told. We didn't have the plate so just used chains attached to a tilt...

I have had my 72 Barracuda with a tweaked small block for 6 years or so.....we take it to many shows and cruises......over the years I have found myself passing by the "usual suspects" and being drawn towards oddities....and frankly the slant 6 fits that. We just got my son his first car back...

No expert but that looks right to me based on our current project......when the spring heats up the flapper should direct the exhaust flowdown and out.....cold, its "vertical", directing exhaust up into the hot box. did you replace your spring or refurbish what you have? Ours broke and...

On this same topic, we found the plug on ours somewhat hosed......I used a thread chaser kit and that went ok but I dont have a new stock plug to try......the threads are cut but they also seem a little flattened out......thing I should go bogger then?

I bought some bolts and washers this morning for lifting....they had some heavy angle iron at the hardware store I almost bought to make my own lift "plate" but decided that since others used just the bolts I should be OK.....crossing fingers. LOL Right now working on getting the clips for...

Now that is cool!!!

Thanks......so ypu suggest leaving the manifolds on for the lifting? Also, I am borrowing an engine crane but buying an engine stand at harbor freight. I was gonna go for the heavy-duty one with the two legs out the front. I am also thinking about buying their "load leveler".......since I will...

Sorry to revive such an old thread but I find myself facing the same questions.....pulling a slant 6 from a 1980 Volare. Those two little bolts are adequate for lifting the whole engine out???? And would there be any issue in not pulling the transmission at the same time?

Looks great! I keep hearing about the "install from down under" method.....In my scenario, two bay garage with not a lot of depth or height, I keep wondering how I could do it this way but havent figured out a way at all yet. :(
