LS Engine puller plate Has anyone seen a plate that you can bolts to where the Valley Cover goes and use it to pull/lift the engine?
I was just wondering.. I'm about to put my engine back in soon and it would help..

I actually made one earlier today out of some steel I had laying around. I just need some Grade 8 Bolts and I'm good. 
The holes aren't drilled yet, but you get the idea..

K..even if you pulled it from the bottom this little thing will help get it off the K-member with the Cherry Picker..think outside the box fellas..

if u gonna pull out the bottom, might as well swap in a tubular kmember while your there.
i have always pulled it out the top with hood in place and with trans attached.
merv, i made one like the one u made, but i had the plates made on a cnc waterjet. with a dust shield also, but i dont think there is a market for them.

like this? 1/4" plate steel. The base is 18.5" x 6", and the vertical plate is 12" x 2.5" with three 1.5" holes. I used the valley cover to mark the bolt holes and drilled them slightly oversized. Note that you have to remove the cam sensor unless you grind it down in the back. $14 for the steel plus weld time, or free if you have some scrap metal chillin' at the shop.

I used the TPIS happy hooker. It worked good and the motor slid right into my trans am.
