Performance Tool W41034 1/2 Ton (1,000 lbs.) Capacity Universal Engine Lift Plate , Gold

I usually do not like lift plates but this one I've learned to trust. It's very solid, the welds are well done, and the variety of holes on the plate (and for the hook) allow it to work on pretty much anything. No problems lifting engine + trans. Would recommend doubling or even tripling up the nuts on the carb studs for safety, and a drop chain is always a good idea if you're not sure how deep the studs go or are working with an aluminum intake. One negative comment, due to all the holes in the plate stuff can fall into the intake with the plate on. I usually press a piece of paper onto the carb studs that goes under the plate to keep junk out, but some tape etc would work just as well. It's a pretty mild complaint, but one to keep in mind,

I used this to install a 4bbl 383 big block Mopar. Honestly was a bit nervous at first though it worked great and will keep it for years to come to use with other projects. Metal is thick, welds look clean and the finish should keep it looking nice for a long time.

Good quality

Great price for what appears to be a quality plate.

This puller plate was what I needed but it's a little light, so I added some 1" metal to the top of the plate for reinforcement. Welded a few of the holes up for more strength when pulling my Big Block Chevy 454. UPDATE: Pulled out my BBC engine and this lift plate worked out great.

Works great

I used this to pull a Ford 460 EFI motor and it handled the heavy weight well. The bolt pattern didn't allow for four bolts to be used, but I could get two bolts in diagonally, which supported the weight just fine. It was a little sketchy, but ended up working out alright. I'd rather have a plate that allowed me to use all four bolt holes. If a Ford 460 EFI motor is your application, I can only half-heartedly recommend this, but fitment issues aside, this is a great product for the money.

Getting to the point quickly, doing an engine swap on a seized engine so the transmission had to come out with the engine (extremely heavy). This mount did the job and more!!!! I am very pleased. I was able to separate the transmission from the engine in mid air! Now I just have to figure out how to get the TC off of the flywheel. I highly recommend this product!!!!! A+++++

Fits perfectly on quadrajet bolt holes and lifted a 330 olds with transmission with no issues

Worked very well

Worked very well to transfer motor, I had to file the holes just a bit to fit well other than that perfectly

I used it to lift a V8 engine and transmission out of a vehicle. The many bolt holes allow varied use and this is the only one I found that will work with a 2 barrel manifold.

Fits perfect, strong
