I am about to lift the old 351c to attach the FMX. Any good recommendations for tools to put this engine on a hoist? These are two options for attaching it that I have found. Any suggestions? My intake in not attached yet to the engine or my headers. Should I attaché those or can they wait?
Just my .02, install the intake and use the plate
I have used a chain bolted to the front of one head and the back of the other. Make sure it is heavy duty enough and use good quality bolts. I have one of the plates that bolts to the carb pad of the intake and like it. I also have one of those load levers. I hate it for heavy loads, one of the tabs broke lifting a engine combo. It broke where it bends. It did cause a bit of a pucker factor. But the other 3 kept it from falling.

I like the carb base lifting plate, I usually make my own. The leveling device might be o-k with a Honda Civic engine. I’ve never seen one last with a full cast iron V8. Just get the plate.
