5.8 lifting eye
I've been searching the web looking for images of a second lifting eye. Only seen images with one attached to the front of the driver side exhaust manifold. None of the images show a lifting eye installed on the opposite side. Looked at trucks with engines still installed at the pick and pull yard, and none had them on the opposite side; perhaps they were already removed.
What I'm looking for is conformation that 5.8s did come with two lifting eyes, and perhaps a pic showing where the passenger side eye is located and attached to.
The motor I bought only came with the driver side eye and I would like to acquire the other one to attach to the motor before I resort to an alternative method; which may, or may not be a better lifting solution.

Thanks all for your replies. I can be somewhat **** at times, if it isn't already apparent on some of my posts. I am open to adapting though, and have done so in the past. When the engine was delivered, we had to use the same bolt on the right exhaust manifold that the yard used when they pulled the motor; the one that the upper intake manifold support attaches to. I have the eyes that I pulled from my 5.0, and used one of them on the rear hole on the right manifold, but it is not the correct configuration and only one bolt could be used. Made it work, but the engine wasn't even close to being balanced. Not very reassuring when lifting such a heavy load.
