4.9L Lifting Lug

Saw a lifting lug on Ebay.

The description said it attached to the cylinder head and was used to lift the engine

Anyone ever seen or used such a thing?

I thought it might just be for lifting the head off, but they said it was for the engine.

I've heard of 4.9's with lifting lugs attached so..

Most engines are equipped with them from the factory. They just leave them on there. Some are taken off after the engine is installed, since they get in the way of something, and you can buy them to pull the engine. Most people don't use them, putting the chain through a longer 3/8 bolt somewhere in two places usually is enough.

Anyone ever use this one, or know how/where it attaches?

I can't locate it in the MPC (and yes, I finally got the MPC on CD)

Not a lot of traffic on this thread, so I'm guessing this is a rare topic (or wrong forum).

In any case, being a sucker for anything engine related, I bought the darn thing. Now I have it and can't figure out how / where to install it.

Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

See if it lines up to the bolt spacing on the exhaust manifold. Sometimes they used long studs instead of bolts, and this bracket fit over the studs with nuts on the outside. If it doesn't line up to those, keep that same theme and see if it lines up with other threaded holes or bolts on the engine. To pick up a inline six, I would think you need to pick it up toward the rear and another spot toward the front.
