Roger that. I saw the A- Arm attachment last night and thought that I should leave that alone. My buddy has an engine hoist and some free time. Might just loosen the motor mounts and jack the motor up a few inches and see it that will do it. I have a hydraulic bottle jack too if the hoist is over kill. Wasn't too keen on supporting the engine by the pan and a block of wood.

I'm guessing I might have to pull the distributor if I have to move the engine more than a few inches. Hopefully I don't have to drop the driveshaft and tranny cross member? I think I remember an engine hoist loop on the front passenger side of the head. Any other places I should use to anchor the engine? My initial thought to just huck a chain around the intake is probably a bit too brash. Maybe try to do this by the books. Or manual rather.

Anything else I should do underneath there? Maybe run a new fuel line just because? New Oil pan gasket? Jesus, should have just left it drums and been cruising.
