Re: Engine removal '38 deluxe
I have pulled the engine on a 38 and removed the hood, although you could support it straight up and did not remove the grill - removed the radiator. I made a lift hook that is a piece of angle iron that drops into the valve galley and long enough to extend just past the intake ports and welded 1” pieces of rod at each end of the angle iron to catch between a pair of intake ports to prevent it from sliding out and welded a U bolt to the upper edge of the angle iron. Easy to insert with the manifold removed and connect to the lift.
