Our universal engine lift plate is purpose-built for mechanics and DIY enthusiasts who demand safety, control, and no-compromise durability. Whether you're working on an old-school SBC BBC Chevy Ford build or a modern LS Gen 3 or Gen 4 swap, this engine lifting plate bracket gives you the confidence to lift with the transmission attached, dial in the perfect tilt, and get the job done.
𝐐𝟏: Will this engine lift plate work on my LS engine with the intake manifold still installed?
A: For LS Gen 3 and Gen 4 engines, the intake manifold and valley cover tray must be removed before installation. This allows the lift plate to bolt securely and directly to the engine block, providing a safe and stable lifting point. For older SBC or BBC engines with a carburetor flange, you can mount the plate directly onto the intake manifold in place of the carburetor.
𝐐𝟐: Can I safely lift my engine with the transmission still attached?
A: Absolutely. The Dedomy universal engine lift plate is rated for a 1,000 lbs working load capacity, which is sufficient for most engine and transmission combinations. Its reinforced heavy-duty steel construction and thick welds are specifically designed to handle the added weight and leverage, ensuring a controlled lift every time.
𝐐𝟑: How do I adjust the engine tilt to clear the radiator support?
A: Our carb carburetor hoist plate features three separate lifting holes. By moving your hoist chain to a different position, you can easily adjust the engine's center of gravity and tilt angle. This simple design solves the common problem of an engine hanging unevenly, allowing you to clear the radiator support and firewall with precision.
