So,
It turns out it's a bear to separate the metal crash bar from the styrofoam 'energy management' stuff. In short, I cannot wrap the chain around the metal bumper bar.
Had to re-think. Ended up noticing that the bumper attacment point was the end of a box-beam construct that was part of the frame. Stuck a grade 8 bolt in there to secure the lifting chain and lifted the front end with a 2 ton shop crane enough to clear the engine+tranny that I had previously dropped.
It was a bit scary because I did not know where the weak links were. I went overboard and used 4700lbs rated chain and 5/16 grade 8 bolts etc. No loud snapping sounds, I'm happy to say !!
The powertrain is on the groung and I've split the tranny out. Will be taking the block apart tomorrow.
Nand
