Is a carb mount motor lift plate actually safe, or is this a mechanic fail waiting to happen? π€
Today on OneMoreBolt, I'm testing the "sketchy" factor the hard wayβby hanging a 650lb Big Block Chevy right over the radiator of my Chevelle. Most mechanics panic thinking these four little bolts will snap and drop the engine, but let's be real: if they didn't work, would they really sell them?
Watch to see the strength test of this budget engine hoist setup. It might look questionable, but it gets the job done!
