Engine lift brackets - NADA P6

[gbvona]

Since the engine I removed from my NADA P6 was not a Rover engine, there were no lift brackets attached to it. The DPO (Dreaded Previous Owner) at least showed enough courtesy to put some removed brackets in a box that was in the boot.

Where do they go?

There is one bracket that, according to the parts book, goes on the front left cylinder head -- it also serves as an anchor for the AC compressor adjustment bracket.

There is another flattish bracket that, according to the parts book, goes on a cylinder head on the rear, but it does not specify on which side. I also have a couple of brackets that came on the 3.9L donor engine.

So the question comes down to how many lift brackets and where are they located?

Thanks!!

There is one on the rear of both heads, and on the LH head at the front it's on the engine steady bar bracket.
The small one goes on the rear of the RH (looking from the rear) head, and the larger one on the LH head.

That's great, Harvey, thanks for the information. I do have enough stuff to rig the three brackets.

I also need information on the engine stabiliser rod. For the cars with the humongous accessory drive frame (holding the PAS pump and the A/C compressor), the stabilizer rod is anchored to the drive frame, not the lifting bracket. This alters the place on the body where the rod is anchored. My stabiliser rod is long gone, but it doesn't look too hard to make one. However, I have no idea how or where the far end is anchored to the body. Would anyone have a picture of the body end of the stabilizer rod for a car equipped with A/C?? And could you get a measurement of the total length of the rod?

Thanks!
