Yoursme LS Engine Lift Plate Hoist Bracket for Chevy LS Gen III/IV (LS1 LSX LQ4) — CNC Steel, Adjustable Lift Points

Yoursme LS Engine Lift Plate is a precision CNC steel hoist bracket that lets you safely lift, balance, and position Gen III and Gen IV Chevy LS-family engines for removal or installation.

Whether you’re swapping an LS1, upgrading to an LSX, or reinstalling a rebuilt LQ4, this lift plate is engineered to fit the common bolt pattern and valley cover clearances found across 1997–present LS-series engines. It combines a compact footprint with adjustable lift points so hobbyists and professional mechanics can align the engine’s center of gravity easily during hoisting and fine adjustments.

How does this plate help me balance an LS engine when lifting?

The plate offers multiple lift positions and added bolt holders so you can change the lift center and tilt the engine without improvising straps. Changing which hole you use moves the effective hoist point to get the block level or slightly angled for transmission clearance.

• Five main lift holes for coarse balance adjustments
• Ten bolt holders to refine the lift angle precisely
• Works with standard engine hoists and swivel hooks

Will it fit my LS, LSX, or LQ4 engine model?

This bracket was designed to match Gen III and Gen IV Chevy LS series geometry, covering common displacement variants such as 4.8L, 5.3L, 5.7L, 6.0L and 6.2L. It aligns to valley cover attachment points used across these families, making it broadly compatible without modification.

• Fits LS, LS1, LS2, LS3 and LSX family engines
• Compatible with Gen 3 and Gen 4 engine valley tray bolt locations
• Suitable for typical 1997–present LS-series applications

How hard is it to install and remove the lift plate?

Installation is straightforward: remove the intake manifold and valley cover tray, position the plate against the engine block, and secure it with the provided bolt locations. The process eliminates complex adapters and speeds up both removal and reinstallation tasks.

• No custom fabrication required — basic hand tools suffice
• Fits under the intake valley after simple disassembly
• Quick-attach design for repeatable service work

What materials and construction protect against failure during use?

The lift plate is manufactured from CNC-cut steel and welded using controlled processes to ensure a rigid, consistent part. The robust construction resists bending and distributes hoist loads across multiple bolt points for safer lifts.

• CNC steel plate for precise hole placement and fit
• Welded seams for extra structural integrity
• Designed to work with rated engine hoists and lifting hardware

Who this is for: The Yoursme LS Engine Lift Plate is aimed at automotive DIYers, engine builders, restoration shops and performance garages that handle LS-family motors regularly. If you remove, install, or reposition Chevy Gen III/IV engines and want a dedicated, repeatable hoist interface that simplifies balance and tilt control, this bracket provides a durable, purpose-built solution covered by a one-year support warranty.
