The engine should have 2 loop brackets for lifting. If they are not there borrrow/buy a set, and bolt them on.

Around the UIM. Someone tried that and broke that right off. Anways, I would wrap a chain around the flat spot on the back of the oil pan. Then wrap another chain around the front flat spot on the oil pan.

use the front bracket that is on the engine designed for lifting it, and use one of the tranny bolts on the back.

the engine hoist brackets are missing, thats what im saying. The tranny bolt idea could work to an extent.

You could try calling one of your FD friends to let you borrow theirs, they really don't need it unless they are taking the engine out
