Where are teh lift points for a BB402 with the trans hooked on it
Hey there,
Has anyone got pics of where the lift points are on a BB when it is mated to a TH400? It has been 3 years since it was finished and fogged. Mow I am going to transport it to a shop and put it back in. I sure could use a picture to see how the engine hoist should be attached. Also, can the engine/trans be put in together, with the hood and fenders on, or what? How should it be done? Thanks in advance. -Chuck

Front and back of cylinder heads (opposing corners) - use 7/16 bolts (grade 8) and a good chain. With trans...you have over 1000 lbs....be careful!

I used one of those 10 dollar lift plates from Summit. This is a big block and turbo 400 going into my old 70 model. You can drop them both in together with the front clip on, just pull the hood, of course.

TX...is that an aluminum intake that you are hanging 1000 lbs from? Hope not...for your sake.

here's how i do it. far header hole on one side, front header hole other side. run the bolt with a large washer through the chain.
if it helps, when lifting a trans and engine you could use both rear header holes to balance it more. Last edited by matthufham; 08-20-2005 at 06:01 PM. |

Sure, it's an aluminum Edlebrock intake.
Aluminum is strong, no sweat.

TXFire - seriously, for your sake, please don't do it again - I HAVE personally seen the aftermarket aluminum intakes break from lifting exactly as you do.
No bull!! |

If you don't mind me asking a 4x4 question here, would this same lift point you are describing, work with the SM465 and the 205 transfer bolted behind a small block???? It seems like the auto probably weighs in about the same as what my trans/transfer combo would be. I know the 465 is at 180 pounds or real close there so and the 205 is about all I would ever want to clean and jerk from the floor to the work bench!!!!! So I am thinking I am real close to the 950 lb mark.
What ya think??? ![]() |

Wolf...yes...very close. Make sure you use good chain and grade 8 bolts/washers (you are looking for good shear strength - the load is on the shank of the bolt).
