I've always used the belhousing bolt holes for the engine stand. Who the hell would put it in the heads anyway? That would make it even closer to the ground and have to bend over further.

got the engine unloaded with the hoist and it is safely on the ground on top of the pallet. I used the bolt holes in the heads that are used for the accessories on the front and back side. I think bolts I needes was a 10mm with a 1.5 thread pattern and I got the one that was 30 long. The thread with pics is located at https://www.performancetrucks.net/fo...d.php?t=360797

It's not all that heavy. Three guys could load it.

Are you sure of the bolt size? I have to pick my motor up on the 15th and it looks like its going to be me alone. I may see if one of the guys will help me. Think 2 guys could do it?

2 guys might be asking for some back pain. With the heads my engine shipped at 413 pounds. I'm sure a few of that was the pallet but still, 400 pounds and its awkward. I'd try to find 2 buddies.
