OK to "hoist" car up by bumper support?
I pulled the motor from the bottom and it's ready to go back in soon. Is the bumper support sturdy enough to hook the cherry picker up to? I know it's only held on by four bolts. Any other suggestions?

Birdman, the engine is out with the k-member. I'm going to put the motor back on the k-member, then slide both back into place from the bottom.
What size bolts did you use for the shock towers?

I took a short chain and bolted it to both shock towers. The car weighs nothing on the front end when the kmember is out. I lifted mine up that way and moved it around that way.

FYI:
The bumper supports are plenty stout to do this. Worked great.
