    I'll be pulling the 440 out of my 300 vert tomorrow, and realized the last time I did something like this was over 30 years ago, any advice would be appreciated. First, where is the best place to bolt up the chains from the hoist? Should I remove the carb, alternator, fan, etc, first? Should I...
