Pulling flat head 8

First time pulling 8BA engine out of my 1948 F68. Any advice appreciated especially hook points for lifting engine. Understand 4 speed transmission stays put and needs support. Usual unhooking wires, fuel line and muffler required. Already have radiator out.

Are you planning to remove any front sheet metal for other work?

Not required. You'll need to remove the hood for lift access, of course.

I've tended to use exhaust bolt locations and a leveler with good results.
