LS/LT Engine Lift Plate

The LS/LT Engine Lift Plate from G FORCE CROSSMEMBERS is a heavy-duty engine handling solution designed for serious GM LS-series and LT-series engine swaps and rebuilds. Whether you're performing a complete powertrain replacement, doing top-end work, or installing custom engine mounts, this lift plate provides a secure, repeatable attachment point for engine hoists and lifting equipment. As a mechanic or enthusiast tackling LS or LT engine work, you'll find this plate indispensable for safely positioning your engine during installation, removal, or work on the bay.

Fabricated from steel and finished in black powder coat, the LS/LT Engine Lift Plate measures 9 x 7 x 20.5 inches and weighs 11.7 lbs, offering substantial mass to distribute hoist loads safely across the engine block. The 1/4-inch thick steel construction ensures rigidity and prevents flexing or deformation under the weight of a loaded LS or LT engine, which can exceed 600 lbs depending on accessories and fluids. The powder coat finish protects against rust and corrosion during extended shop use, storage, or outdoor work environments—critical for long-term durability in aggressive engine swap scenarios.

This lift plate is ideal for engine builders, restoration shops, and performance enthusiasts performing LS or LT engine swaps into classic cars, trucks, or custom platforms. The design accommodates the bolt patterns and geometry of both LS-series (Gen III and Gen IV) and the newer LT-series engines, making it compatible across multiple generations. Installation is straightforward—bolt the plate to the designated lift points on your engine block, attach your hoist chain, and lift with confidence. For anyone investing time and resources into an LS or LT build, this steel lift plate is a must-have safety and precision tool that pays for itself on the first engine job.
