392 Rebuild Advice?

If you are pulling the engine and transmission as a unit, purchase a load leveler, it makes the job half as much trouble.

Speaking of pulling engines:

I was hoping someone could give me a clue as to the best way to hoist an engine and tranny out of my car. I have the front clip removed. and I just need to know the best places to bolt the hoist to lift the engine and tranny in one piece. Should I use the intake manifold bolts or a water pump bolt and someting at the back of the motor (pump is already off) ????........ It's a '60's 413 and tranny.

Thanks for all the GREAT advice I always get here !!!!
