Was just reading this item on Ebay. Were there different lift hooks between the cast iron intake and the aluminum one? Appreciate it.

No.
The BB cast & Al. intakes shared the same pull hook.
Their color shade was what was different,depending on the intake and assembly plant & time period.
1970 did use an all new design numbered hook,with a smaller hole added to it.

Good to know I'm not losing it, thanks Rick.

Hi Rick,
Do you have part numbers for the two (front and rear) engine lift hooks for 1970 big blocks?
Thanks,
-Sam

I made some duplicate brackets from our originals. I'll have to try them on one of our old cast intakes to see how they fit. There are similar small block front brackets that definitely don't fit.

1970 Part #3969829
Good seeing you again Sam.

Sometimes stamped upside down.

Assorted colors too.

o.k. i know on the 69's the rear hook goes on the back of the passenger head.
but what about the 70 model. back intake bolt or back of head?

Mine was the same as the '69; back of the passenger head, and it's a straight piece.

Rick,
What does the dog eared rear bracket fit? (45 degree cuts on the top corners)I have a few of those somewhere in a tool box.

While the topic is still fresh, is there a part number or symbol stamped on the rear hook for a 1970 L78?

Thanks!
