its a 5/16 stud at least grade 5------good in shear for well over 3000 lbs-------two of them should be good for 6000 lbs--------don't tighten the nut on the chain more than finger tight and you should be good to go-------just dont forget to remove the engine mount bolts or you will pick up the entire car!!!!!............RC

I thought these pics might help someone with their engine pull.

Someone in another post suggested modifying the boom on the crane for extended reach. You can see where I added a 3/4" hole in the boom and ran the chain out the end of the tube. Do this mod at your own risk!
The crane I used is a Harbor Freight 1-ton folding unit. I debated getting the folding crane, but am glad I did. A non-folding would be a mess!

I also added another hole but only about 1" longer & its just perfect now from front of car.
Putting my engine & tranny back in very soon now.
With braided tranny lines the crossover stays on a well so its even easier.

My normal time working alone to pull it without the trans...1hr 30 minutes. That includes clean up.
It's my trade so that helps, and I have done it too many times. Hood shocks removed, power steering pump,stays in the car, Modded engine hoist, good lighting, proper tools (no air) are key to my quick time.
