So me and a friend of mine are in the process of replacing my old d17(247K miles) with a newer d17. We have the old block out and tranny swapped over. All we have left to do is drop the new engine and plug everything back in. Instead of dropping the engine, we pulled it. We found two spot that would fit a chain blah blah blah. The problem we are having is finding a spot to chain the new engine. On my old block, there was a bolt hole on the top passenger side of the engine where we could put a hook. it was on the head right next to the thermostat housing. The new block not having one has completely screwed the balance up when the engine is on the lift. We are capable of getting it on the lift and in the car, but it has a slight lean preventing us from attaching the mount properly. If anyone has an idea or a good, balanced way to lift the engine, the help would be greatly appreciated.
TL;DR Need lift points on a d17 that are balanced.
Thanks in advance for any advice you have. Safe driving!
