Pulling out the engine on my Ford F1 V8 tomorrow. I was planning on using bolts attached to the hole castings for the exhaust manifolds. Is this a good idea? Is there a better place to attach the chains? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Whenever I pull a flatty, I usually take the Intake off and use the Intake holes to bolt the chain on. Never had a problem with that.
I use the intake or head bolts. There are about eight bolts + a few wire connections holding the entire front end sheet metal and radiator assembly on the 48 - 52 Ford Truck - Two people can lift it with ease (One person if their desprite)
So when you put the engine back do you put the intake manifold on after? I am thinking that you would have to because of the gasket. Is this correct?
Ok that makes sense to me but when you put the engine back in do you put the intake manifold back in after? I am thinking that you would have to because of the intake gasket, am I correct? Thanks for the help.
