Engine lifting for headers.

[LS1Coupe]

I am not at the car right now so I was hoping for some pre planning help.

I need to lift the motor up to remove the engine mounts and brackets to install my 4 into 1 Hellion manifolds. According to Alldata the lifting points for the Engine support bar are underneath the intake manifold. Are there any other places to lift up the engine without removing the intake. Thanks.

It looks like al ot of people use a screw jack under the bellhousing. I will try that route.

When I did my headers I did a block of wood and a jack under the bell housing.

I used Arnold's book of body building. The most useful thing Arnold has done in 20 yes lol

When I did mine , supported the engine with a cross brace ... I have installed some more for customers , used a screw jack . With engine support it was easier.

I just got to the point of lifting my engine off the mounts for the header install and noticed the IMRC stuff is hitting the hump/ledge at the top of the firewall after lifting it up about 1”. The helm manual says to lift it about 1-3/4” (45mm ish). Did you guys remember having to remove your IMRC stuff to do the headers? I may just delete it anyway because I have a blower but am just wondering what everybody's experience with this was.
