engine pulling
hey just cus i got off of work and its late i got to thinking..... i have done one engine swap rotary wise and i was thinking what mounts did you guys used to pull the engine and tranny. the way i did it was mounting tab/bracket that is on the block on the right of the 13b and wraped a BIG *** chain around the tranny and attached it all with an engine leveler.

If you chain it right, you can do a shimmay and shake and get the entire shabang out fairly easy. Make the rear chain a tiny bit looser, then when you hoist it, it will pull it upwards at an angle, just enough to do a hoist-a-bit, roll-a-bit, hoist-a-bit repeat action. A little practice and it comes out clean with not alot of work and you can do it alone.

only thing about pulling engine/tran in my experience is that the transmission fluid (AT) or oil wants to run out the tailshaft in large quantity... so you need to preplan for that possibility.
i use a 1948 hyster forklift serial number 00049 for pulling my motors, not an option for most people.
(hoist actually works better/ but is more work).
not all 7's still have 2 hooks, about 50% of the ones that i have are missing the front one, and some are missing both.
