Torker Manifold

Here is one for the anti-platers. I have more money hanging off this plate than what some peoples houses cost.

In 45 years I have pulled iron head 440' or 400's many dozen times using either the chain & the front/rear head bolts or with the heads off, the big head bolts and usually a chain hoist. With my 500" EDE head 440, pulled it with the carb plate, same with my 512" Indy head motor. No issues, key is the grade 8 bolts and really good thread engagement. The advantage of the plate is the bolts are in tension, with the front/rear head bolt holes, the chain puts the bolts in shear.

Yanking a stocker with iron manifold out or off the floor to an engine stand I use a home made carb plate.
Anything else the head bolt bosses.
BTW measure the opening of the chain hook on your lifting device, if it starts to spread replace it.
Worked at a heavy equipment parts warehouse, we used to go through safe lifting training yearly.
