Picture this: you're deep into swapping out that worn engine in your classic Chevy or hot rod, and the hoist chain is dancing around like it's got a mind of its own. No more crossed fingers or second-guessing. The Spectre Performance SPE-903 Carburetor Lift Plate changes everything by giving you a dedicated, rock-solid lifting point right where you need it.
Most folks improvise with chains hooked to valve covers or exhaust manifolds—recipes for bent parts, stripped threads, or worse, a dropped motor. Intake manifolds aren't designed for hoisting heavy iron, so they flex and fail under load. And once the engine's out? That gaping carb opening invites dust, debris, and moisture straight into your cylinders, leading to rust and rebuild headaches down the line.
This precision-machined plate bolts directly to 2 BBI or 4 BBI intake manifolds—common on carbureted big blocks and small blocks. Crafted from durable cast aluminum, it handles the full weight of your engine without flinching. The integrated hoist eye is perfectly positioned for balanced lifts, so your motor comes out straight and level every time.
But it doesn't stop at lifting. The plate forms a tight seal over the carburetor base, protecting internals during storage or transport. No more plastic bags or jury-rigged covers that leak.
Whether you're refreshing a weekend cruiser, prepping for race season, or finally tackling that long-overdue rebuild, this lift plate saves hours and spares nerves. Hook up your engine hoist, snug down the four bolts, and pull with total control. Users rave about how it eliminates the wobble, making solo jobs feasible where two people were once mandatory.
For anyone wrenching on carbureted V8s, the SPE-903 is that simple upgrade that pays off big. It's tough, straightforward, and built by Spectre Performance, a name trusted in the performance world for decades. Grab one, and next time you're under the hood, you'll lift with the confidence of a seasoned shop pro. Engine work made reliable, one hoist at a time.
