PiVOT Articulated Engine Lift Plate

The easiest and quickest way to remove and install your engine and/or transmission, the Mac's PiVOT is an articulated engine lift plate that allows the angle of an engine and transmission to be easily adjusted while on a hoist, making engine installation and removal quick and stress-free.

The Mac's PiVOT bolts to the intake manifold and has an adjustable arm that controls tilt of a complete V-8 engine and transmission up to 35° angle. The direct bolt-on design of the Mac's PiVOT not only eliminates the lashing problem that can be encountered with chains, but also eliminates the problem of finding a place to attach chains to keep the engine level side to side. The compact design clears the firewall when the engine and transmission are tilted upward and keeps from scratching freshly painted firewalls.

The body is fabricated of thick steel plate and full-length welds. With a 1,200 lb. capacity, it will not bend like other adjustable lift plates. The grade 8 cap screws are rated to 1,500 lbs. to provide safe use for all iron and aluminum manifolds. It fits most two- and four-barrel carburetors, including Rochester, Carter, Holley, Stromberg and the 1050 Holley Dominator. Incredibly efficient, it only takes 18 minutes to install a flathead and '39 trans using Mac's PiVOT and optional adapter plate.
