Yup you need to try and balance the weight so the arms don't break on you

I normally use grade eight bolts that are longer but will be the same size and threads probably four to five inches long

Another is to watch out for the is the oil pan if you have a older one like my 9n it will be aluminum and it might be a good idea to take anything off that is not already off like the clutch, flywheel anything that can be easily taken off while on the hoist

I already took the starter, front timing gear cover, oil pan, flywheel and clutch off. Once I get the engine mounted I plan to take out the cam and rods/pistons. I am planning to only leave the valves in when I give the block to the machine shop.

Also, is there any special way to hook the engine up to lift it up with the shop crane? I am planning on using two straps.

Do you know if TSC would have the bolts I would need? I'd rather only have to go to one store.

tsc's in my area have a pretty good assortment of hardware int he bolt bin. i'd have to say 'yes' as long as they maintain average stock.

on lifting the block. i use 2 slings with eyelets and an adjustable load leveler on my engine hoist. love it!

I would let them know that you might need to do a valve job so they can grind and lap the valve faces and seats for the best compression possible

Where could I find an adjustable load leveler?
