[Chevelle-list] Small block lifting points

[Dale]

I'm sure everyone has their preference.  When I pulled my 396 and 4-speed in
one piece I used the two top water pump bolt holes and two upper bell
housing bolt holes (longer bolts of course).  Since I did it myself and
still had the front doghouse on the car I invested in a tilter.  Made a big
difference when it came time to reinstall the engine/trans as well.   Maybe
with 2-4 helpers a tilter isn't necessary since there are more hands to help
tilt and maneuver the engine/trans but it was a good investment for me.

A dumb question maybe:
Where do you attach to a 64 283 to lift engine and tranny as a unit?
I've only done a V-8 once!
I think I used two intake manifold bolt holes but thought I'd ask.
Is it worth buying an engine tilter?
Thanks.
