i am trying to pull a northstar from an eldorado. i am having a terrible time finding bolts that i think will properly secure the load, but i have a balancer and a hoist and clearance. if i were to bolt on to the outside of the cylinder heads, being aluminum and all, would the weight of the hoist bend these? how thick should a bolt be to secure the weight? i think the engine is around 600 lbs. if anyone has the exact bolts to tie in to that would be great, if not any information regarding lifting from the cylinder heads would be appreciated. thank you in advance
 
because you do not lift them you drop them out the bottom. sub frame tranny the whole works.
 
the best way to pull that motor is to drop it out the bottom, sub frame, rack, trans and all. not as bad as you might think.
