Pulling a 429
I have aquired an old mercury with a 429 I want to pull out of it. Where is the best places to chain up to this beast? I am told it weighs 550+ pounds, and will also probably be pulling the transmission with it. There are no bolted-on lift points (whatever they are called). Can one purchase bolt-on attaching points for the chain?
Thanks

They usually had twin hole bolt on brackets that went on the exhaust manifold bolts >Both sides of the engine.
Otherwise,you can bolt brackets to intake manifold bolts.

we pull engines out of boats all of the time. most of the time they have the hooks. but when they dont we just find a bolt to screw through a chain into a stud hole on opposite corners of the heads. works fine and we never have any problems.
