Engine leveller question.

Guys, I have my 440 back together from the engine builders, aluminium stealth heads, ally intake manifold. Where is the best spot to fit the 4 point load leveller? Each head has 2 holes at one end, but no holes at the other end, so the leveller would be attached diagonally across the engine. Or is it better to fit it under the bolts holding the intake manifold down? The trans is not mated for this lift.  :popcrn:

I just pulled my 400 a couple weeks ago and used the four corner intake bolts.  Actually, I found some just a bit longer to make better use of the thread depth and the leveler worked great even with 727 attached.

I have done a lot of engine installs, but looking back, I can honestly say that I really don't think I done it without an extra set of hands.

Ive never had a problem using the 3 hole plate bolted in place of the carb. Just installed my new mill with it, 2nd set of hands was used to guide the ridiculous headers im running and not the angle of the engine.
