After purchasing an auto B18B swap and collecting all the parts that I need to do the swap, I can't see where you would hoist the motor with the cherry picker. I havent seen any hooks on or around the head or IM area. So my question is, does anybody have pictures or advice to where they tied the chain/rope to the motor to drop it in the engine bay?

 

There are two bolt hole locations. One on the left side of the engine, and one on the right side.

I'll try to get you a picture tomorrow.

 

I just used a tow strap and wrapped it around the motor multiple times being careful not to put it over a sensor. :dunno:

 

:werd:

hell I used a thick ass tow strap around each motor mount and hooked it up to the bucket on a bob cat..:lmao:

 

thanks for the input guys.....i didnt know if there was a particular spot that everyone used to drop the motor in

 

There is a hole in the back of the head on the drivers side I tighten a bolt into through a lenght of chain and then do the same for one of the front tranny mount bolts. I recommend you throw some rags over the valve cover or the chain will damage the paint. I'm attching a couple of pictures (ignore the last one, I couldn't resist) but it's hard to see the rear bolt hole but you can't miss it if you look at your engine. I think the bolts typically used to hold your A/C compressor bracket works great there.

 

If you look at your valve cover, there are 4 bolts holding it down.

Looking at the engine, the top right (one nearest to the steering wheel) is where the bolt will go. Just below the valve cover, on the cylinder head is a bolt. I can't remember the size as i bought a bunch of bolts just so I didn't need to go back to the hardware store.
