Engine Lift Plate
I'm finally going to get my baby back on the road. I am pulling the motor to install my new Tremec/Bellhousing and clutch. While I have it out I'm going to install new gaskets all around. My question is this... Have any of you used the engine lift plates that bolt to the lower intake to pull your motor? Something about this just makes me uncomfortable but in theory, it should be better than hanging it off of a single bolt in each head....right?
Thanks for any imput you may have.
