Getting ready to lower engine

[The Radium King]

there is a porsche tool - a bar that straddles the engine bay opening. it has a chain that attaches to the point indicated on the throttle body; designed to hold the engine in place when transmission is removed.

probably strong enough, but i think most folks wrap the engine with webbing or chain and lift that way. you've got the car high enough that you might want to consider a lift table of some sort, or perhaps just fix the engine in place, remove the transmission, and roll an engine stand in there to connect directly to the engine while still in the car ...

I have no knowledge, but that bracket surely isnt strong enough to support a full engine lift will it?

I used a hydraulic jack under a 3/4 in plywood cradle I made. Balance is an issue but I found working carefully there was little drama.
