Safely Lift and Store Your LS Engine with Our Full Length Lift Plate and Block Off Kit

Being able to pull your LS engine for repairs or upgrades or perhaps dropping that fresh crate engine down on the mounts of your project means two things. One, you need an engine lifting plate of some sort, and it’s time to roll that engine hoist out from the corner of your shop. Sure, you can hunt down some bolts and grab that three feet of chain dangling off your engine hoist and make it work, but wouldn’t you rather lift your LS engine in a much safer and more secure manner with an engine specific engine lift plate for your Gen 3 or Gen 4 LS engine?

Using an engine specific lift plate guarantees that you’re lifting the engine in a location that can support the weight properly without damage like stripping bolt holes, cracking or crushing composite parts, and more. Furthermore, there is no danger from chain slippage on your engine hoist’s hook, as the bolted down engine lifting plate does not move like a chain can. Simply place your engine hoist’s hook in one of the five 1.38-inch lifting holes of the engine hoist plate to provide the proper angle required and you’re good to go. Made with 7-gauge and 10-gauge steel plate, jig welded, and zinc plated with a weight capacity of up to 1,000 pounds, our BlockDock™ LS engine lift plate will be the last engine lift plate you’ll ever buy for your LS.

Complete Kit Includes Exhaust and Water Pump Sealing Solution

We designed our BlockDock™ LS engine lifting plate around the preferred full length plate design, but we didn’t stop there. We added “wings” to our plate that effectively create a block off plate to the intake ports (if the heads are still installed). This means your lifter valley and intake ports are protected from debris when you store your pulled engine with the lift plate in place or act as a block off until you’re ready to install the intake manifold. The included .160-inch-thick exhaust and water pump port block off plates complete your storage needs for your Gen 3 or Gen 4 LS engine as well for an all-inclusive lifting and storage solution. Leave the lift plate and port block off plates in place as you work on installing your fresh LS build and only remove them when you’re ready for headers, intake, and water pump!

Additionally, we added end plates to the BlockDock™ lift plate that are 3-inches in height so that any loose hardware or small tools placed on top of the BlockDock™ LS engine lifting plate stay put versus rolling/sliding off the engine as it is lifted or moved around the shop. It’s also a great place to store your exhaust and water pump block off plates and hardware as well when you’re done using the kit. Lastly, we’re not relying on factory valley plate fasteners to lift your LS engine either. We provide 11 8mm flange bolts to securely attach the LS engine lift plate to your valley plate bolt pattern. When not in use these 11 bolts store securely in the threaded holes provided right in the lift plate itself. Additional hardware is included for the exhaust and water pump block off plates as well.
