What's this for?
What is this bracket for? Untouched original Delta 88 425. Why is there a bracket for nothing on the top of the motor?


Why?

The factory engine lift fixture hooked into this loop at the front and the cast-in hole behind the passenger side head on the back.

Awesome. First time I've ever seen a factory engine lift fixture let alone its employment.
