Ever used those engine hoist "plates"..they bolt on in place of the carb. with a handle for the engine hoist hook to grab onto...I'm trying to put my block back in the car with my heads already bolted on, so obviously using the studs arn't an option...anyone have any problems using the plate? All that weight on my new intake scares me...

Thanks..

 

i "used" to. i use a bolt on the front of heads diagonally. where the alt goes for instance.

 

+1 on the alternator bolt

thats cool and all, but we dont spend cash on things we can do for free >>creatively. See our tech article on "fly-cutting" your pistons.

 

Pistons were still in motor when we did that.
