I used the bolts in the end of the heads, front left and right rear, since they are larger diameter bolts.

I understood this. the lift plate is a seperate application than the load balancer. I might want to use one or the other as I have both.
I don't have a trust issue with the lift plate. There was a great article in Mustang magazine this month about lift plates. not worried about it breaking. I just want to know if the bolts that mount the carb to the engine are strong enough or if I have to get stronger ones. I still would like to know if anyone has the answer.
