Re: [Chevelle-list] intake mounted engine lift device

[Capt Crunch]

Pulling with these is find. Yes even with alum heads and intakes while pulling the trans with the engine. That weight is distributed through a whole lot of studs and/or bolts. Do watch out for the lift plate though... most of them are welded pretty cheesy and they may break with big weight.   Mikey   ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael Pell Sent: Wednesday, September 10, 2003 5:04 PM To: The Chevelle Mailing List Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] intake mounted engine lift device   I've used them for years now, even to pull a BBC with iron heads.  So far, no problems. (yes, with alum intakes). Seems crazy, I know......   I still avoid being close to the engine just in case that intake gives.  :-) Dan McIntosh wrote: Has anyone ever used one of these things? They attach to the carb mounting flange, and you hook your lift to it to pull the engine out..I'm just wondering how much weight I can really hang off of my Edelbrock aluminum intake manifold.If they work good, then I'll make one up, if not, I'll have to figure some other method. Thanks all.. Dan McIntosh Pavement Scraping 1964 Impala SS http://www.lowriderimpala.com --   Check out my webpage at http://www.ProStreetCar.com   TREMEC Distributor at http://www.5speedTransmissions.com   Team Chevelle member #1778 (Gold),  ACES member #1377   Hoosier State Chevelle Assoc (www.IndianaChevelles.com) #6
