Hi all -

I can't believe Nissan made this as difficult as it is, however, there isn't a place to attach the hoist chains (hooks). I read about hooks called "engine slingers", but I'm at a loss to make this easy.

I removed the first engine using exhaust manifold bolts, AFTER removing the manifolds. Also had to remove the intake plenum and a few other things in order to protect the engine from pressure from the straps/chains against the sides of the engine, once the straps/chains are attached to the exhaust manifold bolts.

I just bought a JDM engine and it came with the manifolds still on AND even the colling fan on the front, so I know there must be a way to do this EASILY!

Any help would be appreciated!!

Thanks!
