Well I'm in the middle of swapping my 4.8 for an lq9 and all I have left is the motor mounts. So where do you guys lift the engine from? My buddies are trying to lift it from the headers, I was thinking maybe the cylinder heads? Or removing the intake manifold and bolting on a engine lift plate? Thanks in advance

 

Get some grade 10.9 10mm bolts and put them in the cylinder heads diagonal across the engine and use a chain in the between them...or you can use 2 chains and cross them.

 

Wouldn't lift from headers, I removed them found them in the way

 

 

This way!!

 

exactly, that would be perfect and simple.

 

Yea I used bolts in the heads like int he picture. That seems to be the best/easiest way.

 

Dip stick tube bolt and the matching one on the other side.. Wiring harness stays with engine.
