There's no factory anchor point as Dodge says you should remove both the engine and transmission from underneath the car. You'll have to improvise if removing it out from the top of the car.

yeah I planned on getting an engine lift and just lifting it up out of the car. I have an engine stand coming in this week so once that comes in pulling the motor

Default Engine Removal

Please keep us updated on how it went on removing the engine from the top, if any problems or issue we should know about, because I have to do the same thing on my 2002.

Its not so hard. Heres some pictures of me taking it out for a rebuild and me putting it back in. Just finished this part yesterday.

As for where to anchor it to pull it, im sure you can get creative. Find some strong looking bolts that are on the side of the block and use those. Once you are ready to put it on a stand, look at these pictures and use them to figure out where to bolt yours up to.
