If they haven't been removed, there is a metal loop bracket in the left front and another in the right rear of your motor to use. If you don't have them, you can buy them and put them on. I don't have an '85 here, but I can probably get you a photo of the ones in my GT which are about the same as I recall.

You may know, but just in case, the 928 motor is really heavy, so use a hoist capable of at least 1/2 ton and similarly an engine stand.

Or if you are sitting in the car it is the right/pass front and left/drivers rear.

I could not find the drivers rear, not even with both hands, ha ha ha

Mine was missing.
You can buy them or make one.

When I set mine back in, I used the intake bolts but 2 bolts are not enough, you need 4 points.

I don't see any hooks where do they bolt to if i make them Thanks!

This photo shows what the back one should look like. I don't think you are going to be able to bolt it on with the motor in the car....

I think the front looks similar on your car, on my GT I think it is a more centralized bracket that looks different.

I was able to use the two points with an engine leveler.
