Top Bolt hole for transmission (on block) rear of motor, and the other best spot is the thermostat housing hole, but I wouldn't recommend unless doing intake work is in your future.

The other spot you could use is on the left side of motor just above header.

Plus 1.I'd stay away from attaching anything related to the plastic manifold.

hey I decided to jack the motor not use tree haha just wondering if removal of exhaust pipe is required or can I work around it with an angle and a extension or 2 on my ratchet. I only found one video on youtube and they of course are at a shop with car lift lol.
