Engine change pivot point

[radioman2002]

As I have previously posted I am taking the entire drivetrain out of a wrecked 96 CVPI and putting it in a 1999. I have removed 2 drive trains (engine/trans together) with the nose removed from other cars. (I have in the past broken the engine from the trans, but thats a lot more work and is very difficult to do) Now comes the fun part. I need to know where the pivot point is that I can remove both engine/trans from the 1999 without removing the nose, and inversely install the 96 drivetrain. The older 5.0/5.8l cars had a bracket that was the pivot point, but I as of yet havn't found one on either the 96 or 99 cars. I difffintly don't want to attach the lift to some part thats going to break. Is there anyone here on this forum who either works on the CV assembly line or has personal klnowledge of such point and where and what do I attach to when lifting both. Thanks all around, for I know there are a lot of very good mechanics on this forum. BTW I have seen some shows on TV doing the assembly on cars, but don't remeber how it was done.

There are threaded holes in the sides of the blocks. If you have one out, look for the threaded holes and find a bolt to fit. You need to brace the chain out from the valve covers so they will not crack them.
