Are you pulling the transmission with it? If so, I recommend one of these --> https://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-g1021
It will help balance the load. I will be reinstalling the engine and trans back in my 64 as a unit, and this is the item I got.
When I pulled the engine out by itself, had the intake off of it, and I bolted my chain to two opposing ends at the manifold mounting location. It worked out fine.

I used a single chain, and attached it at pass side rear most intake man bolt hole, and driver side front most bolt hole. Hook the hoist at about center of chain and away you go!

Lower Front End Ball Joints

Good Morning all!
I took the 64 into the shop to have some adjustments completed and in the process decided to have the lower ball joints replaced as was recommended the last time I had it in. I ordered the parts and came into the shop. They quoted me nearly $500 to replace those lower ball joints requiring nearly 4hrs of labor. Now this is a reputable shop and they know me by name here and they will continue to get my business. I am just questioning what on earth is…

I'm having my steering sector rebuilt, and considering changing it from 20-1 ratio 4.2 turns lock to lock to 3.5 turns lock to lock @ 16-1 ratio, If i change from a 3 1/4" box to a 3" box i could have a 14-1 Ratio steering response would be faster, shorter distance to turn the wheel to get a response, has anyone done this? and how do you like it? thank you
