Generic LS Engine Lift Plate for SBC/BBC V8s — Black heavy‑duty 1,000 lb universal hoist adapter

The JOYOKYOPK LS engine lift plate is a heavy-duty universal lifting adapter that lets you hoist SBC/BBC carbureted and LS Gen 3/4 V8 engines safely with or without intake components installed.

Built from thick steel with a textured black finish, this aftermarket lift plate replaces the carburetor mounting flange to create a secure attachment point for an engine hoist. It supports lifting engines up to 1,000 lbs and is designed to work with common carburetor bolt patterns so you can remove or install engines without stripping manifolds or removing transmissions in many situations.

How does this lift plate attach to older carburetor V8s and modern LS engines?

Installation uses the carburetor bolt pattern so the plate bolts where the carburetor normally sits, creating a centralized lifting point. For LS Gen 3/4 engines you typically remove the intake manifold and valley cover tray first, then fasten the plate directly to the block.

• Replaces carburetor on Carter, Edelbrock, Motorcraft, Rochester bolt patterns
• Bolts to intake manifold area for SBC/BBC engines
• Mounts to block/valley on LS V8 after intake removal
• Standard hole spacing to match common carburetor flanges

What weight and vehicle setups is it safe for?

This lift plate is rated to handle engine assemblies up to about 1,000 pounds, including many engines with the transmission still attached. It’s intended for shop use with a certified hoist and appropriate rigging; do not exceed the rated capacity of your hoisting equipment.

• Rated capacity around 1,000 lbs (engine plus attached transmission)
• Works for SBC and BBC carbureted V8s and LS Gen 3/4 blocks
• Suitable for removal/installation tasks in garages and workshops
• Use only with compatible chain/eye bolt hardware and hoists

What materials and durability features does this plate offer?

Manufactured from heavy-gauge steel, the plate provides a rigid lifting surface to minimize flex under load. A textured black finish protects the metal from corrosion and shop wear, while the robust construction extends service life in repeated engine movements.

• Heavy-duty steel construction for high strength and stiffness
• Black textured coating for corrosion resistance and grip
• Precision-cut holes to match common carburetor flange patterns
• Robust welds or formed edges to resist deformation under load

Who is this for: This lift plate is aimed at mechanics, restoration enthusiasts, and home-garage DIYers who need a reliable, universal lifting point for small-block and big-block carburetor engines as well as LS Gen 3/4 V8s. It’s especially useful when you want to lift an engine with the transmission attached or avoid removing multiple intake components during swaps and rebuilds. Always pair the plate with properly rated hoisting gear and follow safety procedures when lifting engines.
