The bracket for a M38 is a plate with two ring bolts that extend upwards. One ring is for lifting the engine only, the other balances the engine and transmission if lifted toghters. The bracket for a M38A1 is a large metal loop shaped like a "M". Each of the loops does the same job as the rings on the M38 lifting loop.[/img]

The lifting bracket, shown in the manual, is a sort of
"U" shaped affair, with rings on the open end. I've read
that you use a particular 'ring' for lifting the engine in
different ways/directions. The bracket bolts to the top
of the engine at the bottom of the "U". The manual
should assist you.

They use to be only $20 but the vendors have rolled the price to over $45 the past two years. They are readily available.
