I'm about to remove the engine and transmission from my 65 GS and wondered how and where you guys that have gone before me on this have attached your chains/lifting mechanism to the engine. I like to connect to the block, if possible, and heads as a second priority. I see a bolt on each side of the back of the block, but the front is clean except for the water pump and coolant crossover fasteners. Should I remove those and fasten my front lift chains to a couple of those holes in the block?
I also like to pull the engine and tranny together, so am always concerned about the added weight of the transmission, etc.
I know I'm being anal about this, but would hate to make a dumb mistake that I'd regret, but for asking a question here.
I'll appreciate you shared knowledge, as usual!
