It is not intended to be used for lifting the engine once the engine is removed. The J28467-86 that bolts to the left front cylinder head is used for engine support in vehicle and engine lifting once the engine is removed. The J28467-87 is only used to lift the engine once the engine is removed from the vehicle. The J28467-87 can not be used for engine support in vehicle due to limited access to the rear of the right cylinder head in the area where the bracket mounts.
