That may be true...but it may not account for damaged threads or thin threads. I still would not lift a motor like that. I'd much rather lift them by hand or by the head bolts.
Lifting the KT or Magnum motors I use the tabs that are bolted on with the intake manifold bolts. If I can't winch them, I lift them with again...swift back jerking motion lol
