Re: Engine Hooks
Guys,
This is a most interesting topic. All of the big blocks assembled in the
Impala's, Camaro's, Nova's, and Chevelles had factory engine hoist brackets.
One was attached to the intake ( two front bolt locations ) on the drivers
side, while the other was attached to the back of the passenger side head
in one of the accessory mounting holes. These applications included:
L-35, L-34, L-78, L-89, L-72
Would it not stand to reason that these brackets were already mounted to the
engines as they came down the line? If so, why weren't they used. Now, I'm
not as well versed on the big block Vettes, so please enlighten me.....
