lifting the monstrous 4.6 engine
 
ok i don't know if anyone has dealt with this but 4.6's are a real pain in the rear to find a good place to lift them.

i finally found it you will need
2 12mmx1.5mm bolts that are at least 2 inches long
and a big enough chain that you can get the bolts through the chain and reach from head to head longways.

ok on the rear of the passenger side there is a hole for that bolt

and exactly opposite that there is a hole front of the drivers side

maybe nobody else has problems lifting these but everybody i know talks about how much of a pain they are to lift unless you take the intake off.
but hey if i'm just swapping a motor i'll leave anything i don't need on it.
next time i do one i'll take a pic

Pics are always appreciated.

Planning on swapping motors soon anyway, pics could come in handy. :D
