Been searching for this bugger...even called Bill J and he is searching as I type this. I am looking for the part # for the rear eyelet bracket that came on the 95-97 contours to lift the engine from the top. If anyone has ANY insight on this...post away!

I have one off the engine right now and can look into duplicating it if it's worth my time. So, what's it worth to you guys ... what would you pay for something like this? If there is enough interest, I may duplicate this part for a group buy.

I did that, but IIRC it looked as though it was going to kink and either scratch the heads or just wasnt going to clear...i dont recall...it is what I had done to this point.
I took the c-clamp that is on the front eyelet and put a bolt thru it on the back, but I wanted a better option.
My terminology sucks so lets just call it bugga and bugga.
I bolted the bugga in the front to the bugga in the back and that double bugga worked...

I'm sure he knows that much ... but the eyelet allows you to use chain hooks and also doesn't require any caution in assuring that the chain doesn't crimp against the valve cover too much to pinch a line/wire in the way since the chains ends will sit well above any wires/obstructions with two hook points. Not mention, the engine/driveline assembly is pretty well balanced with this setup, although it does tend to lean a bit on the transmission end since the tranny weight is right of the center balance point a bit, but nothing too bad. I cleared the bay just fine working by myself going slow with no "spotter"
