Message	which is what bolts the plenum to the heads on the sides... I normally pick the engines up using that bracket (been using a ratchet strap lately, and I just put the hooks around hte back of the plates (looking at the motor, I put them in with the hooks facing down and back towards me and hook them behind those plates). Works pretty well... weight is supported by the plates/plenum at that point... the actual slings... bolt to the passenger side front (there is a wiring harness bracket bolt there on teh side of the head) and then the back of the driver's side head... but they're a royal pain to bolt on with the engien in the car... go figure... lol KaZ (VaBch) Now with 100% less Z!
