GZQIUYI LS Engine Lift Plate — 6mm Alloy Steel Heavy-Duty Lift Plate with Hardware Kit, Matte Black

GZQIUYI Heavy Duty LS Engine Lift Plate is a 6mm alloy-steel lifting plate that bolts to LS valley covers and common SBC/BBC/Ford carburetor patterns, delivering a rigid, zero-drill platform and a complete hardware kit for safe engine handling.

Built for professional shops and experienced DIY mechanics, this lift plate replaces flimsy, misaligned alternatives with a precision laser-cut, fully welded design. It measures 245mm × 151mm × 62mm, weighs 1.91 kg, and comes finished in a matte black powder coat tested to ASTM B117 standards. The package includes all intended fasteners—M8 socket screws, hex bolts, and thick washers—so you can mount the plate and store the hardware on the plate until your next project.

How does this plate fit my LS engine and carburetor patterns?

The plate is laser-cut to match LS Gen 3/4 valley cover bolt locations and common SBC, BBC, and Ford carburetor bolt patterns. That zero-drill accuracy eliminates the common alignment headaches and protects factory threads.

• Laser-cut holes aligned to LS Gen 3/4 valley cover patterns.
• Holes compatible with Holley, Edelbrock, Carter, and Rochester bolt layouts.
• Mounts without drilling, preserving OEM bolt holes and torque specs.

Why is a 6mm alloy-steel plate better than thinner alternatives?

This plate’s 6mm alloy-steel construction and full-length continuous welds provide greater rigidity and resistance to flex compared with 4–5mm plates and spot-welded units. The added stiffness increases safety when lifting engines with transmissions attached and reduces deformation under load.

• 6mm thickness for approximately 30% more rigidity versus thinner plates.
• Continuous welds at critical joints for improved structural integrity.
• Matte black powder coat that resists chipping and handling wear.

What hardware and lift options are included for different jobs?

The kit ships with correctly sized imperial/metric bolts and thick washers—no mixed-thread surprises—so you have the right fasteners for valley cover and carburetor-pattern mounting. Three hoist points let you alter engine angle to clear tight engine bays or lift with a transmission attached.

• Included hardware: 6× M8×19mm socket screws, 4× M8×24mm hex bolts, 10 washers (24×8×3mm).
• Three lifting points to control engine tilt in cramped spaces.
• Capacity rated for 1000+ lbs when used correctly with transmission attached.

How is this used safely in a workshop setting?

Use this plate with a suitably rated hoist and follow standard lift and balance procedures; confirm bolt engagement and torque before raising. The plate’s design permits lifting without removing intake or carburetors in many applications, but always verify compatibility and balance before working under the vehicle.

• Confirm bolt pattern and torque to manufacturer specs before lifting.
• Balance load across the three hoist points to prevent tilting.
• Use with a rated hoist and follow safety protocols when working with transmissions attached.

Who is this for: The GZQIUYI Heavy Duty LS Engine Lift Plate is aimed at professional mechanics, experienced DIYers, and restoration shops performing LS swaps, carburetor service, transmission work, or engine rebuilds. If you need a durable, no-drill mounting solution that stays rigid under load and includes the correct hardware for common GM and Ford patterns, this plate is designed for your workshop needs.
