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

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.

Good seeing you again Sam.

Sometimes stamped upside down.

Assorted colors too.

Thanks Rick, it was great to see you at SCR8, along with all the cool memorabilia you brought along! I really like those Chevrolet Sports Department signs..

Excuse my ignorance, but is there a different rear lift bracket on a 1970 big block? My L78 did not have one front or rear, we used accessory bolt holes to hoist the engine out..

So I got a set of engine lift brackets off eBay for my L78, and it's easy to see how to mount the front one, on the front two driver side inlet manifold bolts.

But where does that rear one mount, and at what angle? Is it the inboard accessory bolt hole in the back of the passenger head? Does the tab stick straight up?

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.
