M38A1 Engine Hoist Point

[Big Spur]

I don't see an obvious lift point to take out my engine. Am I missing something or is there an somethibg I need to bolt onto my motor in order to safely lift it? Thanks from a new guy.

Yes, You are missing the engine lift bracket that bolts onto the engine. Maybe some one will post what it looks like, or you can find a photo of it in the manual.
I think I have one here on the loose somewhere.

Engine Lifting Bracket

It's an odd shaped bracket which bolts to the engine block up top.

Outstanding. Thanks for the pictures.

My pleasure. Well to the forum and best wishes on your build.

What you should have is this lifting bracket, like Frank described:



This is what I did with a customer's Jeep that was missing the bracket. Pulled a front and rear head bolt. Hope the head gasket doesn't leak when I put it back together but it's a chance I had to take.



EDIT: B2U added much better pictures while I was looking for these. Thanks!
