[Chevelle-list] Engine Lift Plate

[Tom Rightler]

They won't pull out of the holes.  I've lifted the 454 out of my 70 about 6 times with a plate that bolts to the intake, never had a problem with it.  Same goes with the 440 that is in my 69 Charger and believe it or not, the 440 weighs more than the 454 does.

  I know most people do but I use the bolts that bolt to the heads.
  I would be leery about doing that on a vortex intake.
