Like the title says where is the best place to attach the chains to the front of the motor? I will be dropping my k-member to install some headers this weekend.
pics would be a plus

Just posted this up in another thread a couple days ago.

bolts that go through the timing chain cover and into the head or block are the best.

Which thread was it? This timely for me as I plan to do this over this winter too for my header and poly mount install.

Get the engine support bar from harbor freight, best tool i have ever bought, makes dropping the k frame a breeze...i attached the chains to the coolant cross over tube studs i always leave a tranny jack under the trans for extra safety regardless.

Or you could do it the Ford way if you can score the factory engine lift brackets. I keep a set handy just in case...
