Doing a frame off restoration. I'm getting ready to send my chassis and tub to get inner sills replaced, rear apron and some other pieces fixed. Body shop prefers engine/trans removed. Just finished assembling my HF 2 ton hoist and engine leveler. Tub is off, all is ready. Need to decide how to attach engine lever to engine and trans. The leveler is designed to use the head studs. I have heard folks say don't hoist from the head studs because of thread distortion/torque problems. There are two engine lift brackets. I could use those. What have you all done?

Bruce,
I used two screw end chain links on each end of of the levelers and then put them through the stock lifting points on the engine. Make sure that you get the links that are large enough for the weight of the engine (usually marked on the back of the package) but small enough to go through the ends of the leveler.
Here is the type of link that I am talking about. You can buy them at Home Depot etc.
Cheers,
