YHXCUIER LS Engine Lift Plate for Chevy Ford SBC BBC LSX — Black, 1,000 lb Capacity, Heavy‑Duty Steel

The YHXCUIER LS Engine Lift Plate is a universal steel hoist adapter that lets you safely lift and tilt small-block, big-block and LS-series engines—intake-on or intake-off—up to 1,000 lbs.

This heavy-duty lift plate is built for home mechanics and professional shops that need a reliable way to attach an engine hoist to a variety of American V8 powerplants. Designed with reinforced welds, imperial fasteners, and three adjustable lifting positions, the plate supports common carburetor bolt patterns and LS Gen 3/Gen 4 blocks with clear installation steps. It’s intended to make engine removal, installation, and alignment easier while preserving the intake or allowing removal when required.

Which engines and carburetors will this lift plate work with?

The YHXCUIER plate fits classic carburetor bolt patterns like Carter Thermo-Quad, Edelbrock, Motorcraft, and Rochester Quadrajet, and it supports LS Gen 3 and Gen 4 blocks when the intake is removed. It’s sized for common Chevy and Ford SBC/BBC V8 applications and many universal aftermarket manifolds.

• Compatible with many small-block and big-block Chevy and Ford engines.
• Supports standard four-bolt carburetor flange patterns.
• Works with LS engines when intake manifold or valley tray is removed.
• Holds engines with transmission attached up to 1,000 lbs.

How do I install and use the lift plate safely?

Installation is straightforward: align the plate over the intake bolt pattern, secure it using the included imperial fasteners, then attach your engine hoist to the lift eye and choose the lifting position to set tilt. Remove the intake manifold and valley cover tray for LS engines as required so the plate can sit flush against the block. Always follow standard safety practices and lift within the rated capacity.

• Secure plate to carburetor bolt pattern using supplied imperial bolts.
• Choose one of three lifting holes to set forward/back tilt angle.
• Remove LS intake/valley tray before mounting for Gen 3/Gen 4 blocks.
• Confirm hoist capacity and work on a level, stable surface.

What makes this plate more durable than cheaper options?

YHXCUIER uses thicker base material and reinforced welds at high-stress joints to minimize flex and reduce the risk of failure under load. The plate’s iron construction is treated to resist corrosion, and imperial hardware prevents thread mismatch common with metric bolts. Those features combine to extend service life in repeated shop use.

• Reinforced, heavy-gauge iron construction for reduced flex.
• Overbuilt welds at critical points for long-term durability.
• Imperial fasteners match factory thread patterns for secure fit.
• Anti-rust finish for shop and outdoor storage longevity.

Can it lift an engine with the transmission still attached?

Yes — when used within its rated capacity and with correct hoist setup, the plate can lift assemblies including the transmission up to 1,000 lbs. Position the hoist and plate to balance the load and choose the proper lift hole to control engine tilt during removal or installation.

• Rated for combined engine and transmission loads up to 1,000 lbs.
• Three lift positions help balance front-to-back weight distribution.
• Use proper hoist chains/gear and check all fasteners before lifting.
• Do not exceed rated capacity; verify total assembly weight first.

Who is this for: The YHXCUIER LS Engine Lift Plate is ideal for DIY mechanics, restoration shops, and professional garages working on Chevy, Ford SBC/BBC and many LS-series engines who want a dependable, repeatable hoist connection. If you need a rugged, universal adapter that accommodates common carburetor patterns, provides adjustable tilt, and uses correct imperial hardware, this plate offers a practical solution to make engine removal and installation cleaner, safer, and faster.
