OLE Bill , I have been trying to kill them 59ab blocks forover 40 years by hanging them from the bell housing & have not been successful in hurting 1 yet !!!
An OLE wives tale !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The weight & leverage factor of a fully complete blown BB Chev is way higher than a flathead & I havent hurt one of them either ! Nor have I ever hurt any 6 cyl engines hanging them that way ......... guess I,m jus lucky.
Cheers
