Ok folks, one question while I consider the fact that there is a good chance that this engine is coming out of the truck. I have reconciled it in my mind and have begun to make a list of "while I'm at it" tasks, mostly cleaning up and painting the block.

So the question is, I've lifted an engine out of a car before and even have an engine hoist and stand my good friend gave me when he sold me the truck (maybe he knew this would happen). There are good bolt holes on the exhaust/intake manifold of the engine to attach the hoist chains, where on the distributor side of the engine is a good place to attach?

Thanks
Bob
