Default Do you trust engine lift plates?
Wondering how many of you guys use the carb flange type engine lift plate with aluminum intakes. Ever had one pull out? I know the manufacturers of the plate claim its no problem, but I can't find anything in any Edelbrock literature yea or nay. I've used them many times on other engines, mostly smallblocks though, and never had a problem. Those engines weren't quite as valuable either. Just real nervous about trusting four 5/16" bolts to support a $20K+ engine package. Any thoughts.
