Back in the factory days, there was a big “U” shaped engine mount.
The crane/hoist attachment point was actually over the roof of the car.
I don’t know if there was a carb on the engine or not.
There are a few pictures of the setup on this forum somewhere….

Obviously, this critical information is not going to help you much with your install, it was just an interesting anecdote…
On my other hand there are hoist fixtures with the lift point near the ZF/engine junction that can move the boom very close to the engine…
Gives you some “room to move”…
Pictures here…
But Steve - you’re on the thread, so you know all this!
