BB Engine lift bracket bolt

[Mike R.]

What does the bolt that holds the rear engine lift bracket to the head look like (headmark? intregal washer or not? color?)? Thanks

Mike. on my Jan built 68 400 hsp, the passanger side rear orange painted lift bracket and bolt. It doesn't have a washer, captive or flat. The head markings look like a CS within a circle with three lines equally spaced out at the circle traveling out to the boltheads edge. This was a tough one to get a look at.

I can tell you for color the bolt and lifting bracket will be orange on iron head Mark IV engines and natural (unpainted) on aluminum head engines.

So is the unpainted bolt on aluminium engines black or silver?

Somehow I knew that would be the next question, and there is a reason I avoided addressing that question earlier.

It gets harder as the parts get rarer...


I appreciate your help with the vacuum modulator line. Without your photo, I would not have known how to bend the line and make it look original. It woule be so much easier if I was only trying to make things perfect instead of trying to emulate 40yr old imperfection...
