    Installing engine/trans at once- where to hook up the chains?

    I've been trying to think of solutions for issues I can see down the road but haven't been able to get this one solved easily. With the TIII there aren't any nice places on the driver's side of the engine to attach chains to lower the engine & trans together into the engine bay. What have you done and is there anything you would have done differently? I'm real weary of attaching chains to the thermostat area or the bolt hole in the upper front corner of the head. Thanks!

    The bolt holes on the side/front of the head will easily support the weight of the engine and trans.

    Thanks! I was apparently using the wrong search terms. Great info in the pics Jeremy! I'm bending up hard lines for the vacuum lines tonight & tomorrow; seeing it all together is a huge help.

    That ought to look really good. Did you get that idea from Hot Rod's F-Bomb?

    Not necesarily. I don't like floppy vacuum lines. I'm going with the metal lines or hard emissions tubing if this doesn't work right.

    I'd never seen it prior to their project car. I like the idea. Keeps things looking really good and also less chance of a leak.
