Hello.

First of all regards from Spain.

I want to pull out the motor of my 89 Trans Am. The problem I have is that I don't know the place where I put the chains, in the block? in the manifold? What tool are you using to do this, bolt or other tool?
It's possible to you post some photos of the correct place/tool?
I will appreciate a lot you help because here in europe we don't have information

Regards
Marcos

 

usually you want to hook these to the head. there are holes in the front and rear of the heads for accessories. you can also hook the chains in the intake. either place will work. i always use grade 8 bolts and make sure they are tight...a bolt which is fairly long, a washer and a solid hooking point will be sufficient...and might i ask, why are ya pulling the motor?

good luck!
Josh

 

Greetings from the other side of the pond, and welcome to TGO!

Like stated, yes, use the accessory bolt holes in the cylinder head. They will probably be the most convenient for you. There are holes on both sides of the head. That means taking off the front brackets and the ground strap off the rear pass. side head. Grade 8 bolts in there for me too. A load leveler makes things easy as well.

As for tools....i use whats needed to unhook the engine and then use an engine hoist. Once the engine is out (and trans too, if you opt so), place it on an engine stand if you wish to work on it. Otherwise, It can go on the floor.

As for the place, wherever you have room. You will need a fairly healthy dose of room for it.

You can do a search and get the specifics.

Nice car, by the way!
