Just need some quick reinsurance, safe points of where to hook up the engine hoist onto the KA24DE for pulling it.

Thanks, I was figuring that seeing as there were no hooks or sturdy brackets.

some cars came with hooks from the factory...
keep your eyes open next time your at a junkyard...

Or around the motor mount brackets if you have long enough chain.

I figured it would that's why I was compeletly puzzled. Why do only some come with hooks and others don't?

FSM has the locations of the hard points on the motor. I can't find the diagram right now...

i believe there is a mounting point on the back of the head where you can thread a bolt in. dont know any other spots though

ive pulled and installed dozens of engines, always use a strap (cut out seatbelt) around exh. and intake manis.
never had a problem.

Put each end of the T-Bar adjuster at the following points on the head.

General rule for lifting engines out...make sure the hoist chain is on a diagonal (from one corner of the engine to another) this helps it keep it a little balanced when lifting it out.

But if you still have the factory hooks on the KA.. use them. If not, the manifolds.
