Getting ready to pull the 302 engine from my 57 Fairlane and was wondering what the best lifting points on the engine for pulling the engine and AOD trans? Most shop manuals willhave a recommended lifting point, unfortunately I don't have a 302 manual. Any helpful suggestions will be most appreciated.

They came from the factory with a bracket that attached to the front left and right rear exhaust manifold bolts. They used both bolts on each port. You can use those with a chain, just make sure the chain is tight against the head surface or the manifold surface.
I made a plate that bolts to the carb mounting bolts with an adjustable plate for a shackle. EFI? disregard.
I also use the carb plate, much easier to use than searching for the facotry brackets, or using the old chain and washer to the intake bolts trick. I saw somewhere a plate to use on EFI engines, removing the upper intake and bolting to the lower intake.
