[DeTomaso] $20 Engine Lever at Walmart Online

Bud,

I and many other people use them all the time. You can't have the carb installed however. You lay the device right atop the intake manifold carb pad, then attach the chains and away you go. Loads of clearance available. 

Pat Mical used to make/sell a curved bracket with an eyelet for a chain hook, which bolted to the uppermost bellhousing-to-block mounting points. It curved forward over the oil pressure sender, which is the approximate center of balance of the engine/gearbox combo. From there it is easy to tilt the combo tail-up or level it, as needed.

   Bud,

   I and many other people use them all the time. You can't have the carb
   installed however. You lay the device right atop the intake manifold
   carb pad, then attach the chains and away you go. Loads of clearance
   available.

   Pat Mical used to make/sell a curved bracket with an eyelet for a chain
   hook, which bolted to the uppermost bellhousing-to-block mounting
   points. It curved forward over the oil pressure sender, which is the
   approximate center of balance of the engine/gearbox combo. From there
   it is easy to tilt the combo tail-up or level it, as needed.

   Ken,
   Remember, the role of the threaded screw is only to move the lifting
   point pack and forth. All the weight is being supported by the steel
   beam underneath. It won't bend, it won't bind. Lubrication of the screw
   with engine oil makes it work much better.
   My Harbor Freight unit was more expensive but I think it's a bit longer
   and thus offers more potential angularity.
