Aloha All,

The TR3 and similar engines had special parts, a front and rear engine lifting fitting. These were bolted to the engine to allow chains to be attached to lift the engine from the car. Does any one have a photo of the rear lifting fitting? I would appreciate if you could post it here. I'm pretty sure I have one some where, but can't remember what it looks like.

Mahalo.
 
Dave,

Here is a shot of it here. Hope that you can make it out.

Thanks, that was quick. Are the the attachments points slots or bolt holes? I seem to recall one of each. If different, what is the top one?
 
The top one is a hole that goes under the head nut. The bottom one is slotted for the manifold stud...goes on the outside of the manifold.
 
Thanks, now the search begins to find that "special place" I put those pieces so I wouldn't lose them.
 
Here's a tighter shot:
