Thanks for the visual confirmation.
The setup on my 5.3 LMG looks identical, and is how it would be hooked up in my 2014. Part of me wants to just reuse the existing part from my 5.3, as I'm going to pull the heads off during engine removal to get to the bell-housing bolts.
Where does it connect to? The short outlet pipe was broken off my crossover when I got the engine. He said they literally ripped it out of the Sierra 2500 with a forklift and sawzalls. (which you could see from the cuts on the engine mounts.)

The reality of the situation:
Those dummies:
I wish I had that tractor. It's the neighbor's, and he said it should be able to lift ~1500lbs. with the forks. I think the fully dressed iron-block LS weighs like 535lbs?

The only heavy lifting was getting the stand wheels...
