Where can I score some lift plates for an LS1 so that I can lift it up and yank an oil pan?? FYI this engine is on a crate, not in a car with a trans hooked up to it.
I'm trying to do this for a member who needs my GTO pan asap.
I thought I could lift it with chains but the chains obviously will go under the oil pan and that won't work.
Anyone know where I can get these, I need them ASAP. Thanks.

Never seen 'em for an LS1.
I have the Happy Hooker for my LT1 though.
Hey, looks like on the web site, they say it works for the LS1. Those things are great. ![Thumb](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies2/thumb.gif)

The chain works a lot better since you don't have to go look around for the lift plate but I have a lift plate and have to admit that I like it alot better than the chain since I don't have to find places to bolt the chain to and everything. Just my two cents.
Oh, forgot to mention that the lift plate I have is for a carb'd motor. Not sure if it applies to this situation but just go ahead and use the chain
