Title: lifting an old sbc?
Post by: Vroom_vroom on May 12, 2021, 01:24:34 PM: ran into an odd question and based on the collective knowledge i thought id ask.

i have an old sbc im getting ready to yank but it has no accessory holes in the heads. how bad of an idea is it to bolt the chain to a intake bolt? (no intake on it) it has a t10 attached to it as well.

I took my sbc out and put back in using the bolts on the exhaust headers. I was to scared to use the intake bolt.
