Lifting the front with engine hoist?

[wsutard]

Any suggestions on attachment points to lift the front of a 69 Coronet with an engine hoist?

So far I have seen pics using nylon straps on the bumper and another where they used a lifting frame attached to the normal bumper attachment locations. I don't have a lifting frame.

I lifted my Demon by running straps in through the engine bay and under the frame rails to the bumper mount bolts outside. I had straps that fit the bolts nicely though. It was surprisingly light.

I've found it easiest to use a length of 4x4, cut to fit between the rails but catch on the flanges on each front rail. You can see it in this picture. Used it on A and E bodies. Works great.

Good idea. I ended up using the bumper mounts. Between the bumper and the radiator support. Worked fine. No issues.
