Hello Tempest,

Your most welcome. Note that we lifted both the front and the rear using a total of two (2) engine hoists. The 4x4 was actually bolted to the bumper brackets on the back of the car and we attached an 8500 lb tow-strap (with hooks on each end) to the eyelet bolts on the 4x4 rear-bumper mounting support. The middle was then used as a basis for attaching to the rear-engine hoist (which was positioned off to the side - on the passenger side).

Note that by keeping both engine hoists on one side, we were able to work the other side with jacks, etc.

I do have a written procedure, if anyone wants it. Just send me a PM with your email, and I am happy to send it along.

Good to see other Canadian Pontiac fans - esp. those working on their cars!

Cheers,
Brian
'72 GTO.
