Approved Crane Rigging Devices

A commercial built lifting bracket with stamped load rating (See example below) may also be used for lifting GM 5.7 engines by removing the carburetor and bolting the engine lifting plate to the intake manifold. Proper bolt length needs to be used when bolting engine lifting bracket to intake manifold to insure enough bolt threads to support engine weight. This type lifting bracket is only approved for and can only be used on the GM 5.7 engine. This is NOT APPROVED for lifting the GM8.1 engines with the Dart manifolds.
