Engine Pivot Plate

The MACS Custom Tie-Downs Engine Pivot Plate (Model 701001) is a heavy-duty engine lift plate engineered for professional automotive technicians and serious enthusiasts who regularly perform engine pulls, swaps, and overhauls. This 35-degree pivot design delivers precise positioning and stability during critical engine work, whether you're removing a powerplant for rebuild or installing a freshly prepared long-block into the bay.

Constructed from steel with a durable blue powder-coat finish, the plate resists corrosion and shop wear while maintaining secure engagement with square-bore carburetor flanges. The 35-degree pivot geometry allows controlled tilting and rotation without sudden shifts—critical when maneuvering a heavy engine around tight underhood geometry. At 9.15 lbs, this is a substantial, purpose-built tool designed to handle repeated heavy cycles without flex or wear. The compact 8.4 x 8.4 x 8.9-inch footprint fits most traditional V-8 and inline engine configurations while remaining maneuverable in cramped shop spaces.

This engine lift plate is purpose-built for professional service departments, independent shops, and dedicated DIY builders undertaking major powertrain work. The pivot functionality simplifies angled installation into vehicles with tight engine compartments—a game-changer when dropping an engine straight down would result in contact with headers, suspension components, or firewall points. Whether performing a complete engine rebuild, a carburetor swap, or an EFI conversion on a classic platform, the MACS Custom Tie-Downs design minimizes handling time and risk of damage to both engine and vehicle during the critical installation phase.
