Being able to pull your Gen 3 Hemi 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 Gen 3 Hemi engine in a much safer and more secure manner with an engine specific motor lift plate using the best 5.7 hemi engine lift points for your Gen 3 Hemi 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 a 1/8-inch thick steel base that features a 3/16-inch thick steel lift plate and powder coated in a rich satin black finish, our BlockDock™ Gen 3 Hemi lift plate supports a weight capacity of up to 1,000 pounds. Our Gen 3 Hemi engine lift plate will be the last engine lift plate you’ll ever buy for your Mopar.
We designed our BlockDock™ Gen 3 Hemi engine lift plate around the stronger full length plate design that attaches to the cylinder head intake bolt pattern, but we didn’t stop there. We used a single piece of steel sheet that covers all eight intake ports and protects the engine block valley’s VCT solenoids. This means your engine’s VCT solenoids are safe from potential damage and your intake ports are protected from debris if you store your engine with the lift plate in place, acting as a block off until you’re ready to install the intake manifold. Obviously, the cylinder heads must be in place for this lift plate to be used.
Additionally, we added 1/16-inch thick steel tool tray to the top of the lift plate so that any loose hardware or small tools placed on top of the engine lifting plate stay put versus rolling/sliding off the engine as it is lifted or moved around the shop. Lastly, we’re not relying on the factory intake manifold fasteners to lift your Gen 3 Hemi engine either. We provide 10 M6 x 1.0mm flange bolts to securely attach the BlockDock™ Gen 3 Hemi motor lift plate to your cylinder head’s intake manifold bolt pattern. When not in use these 10 bolts store securely in the threaded holes provided right in the lift plate itself.
