and I was thinking about building some sort of strut tower brace that bolts to the manifold and strut towers. Basically hard mounting it up top. I would either use the bolt holes for the manifold side braces or bolt into the holes for the coil packs. Seems enough folks have pulled motors from the manifold, and we know the strut towers are meant to handle serious load. It would take some fabrication, but could make the actual process that much easier. I really dont feel like renting that engine hoist again...
