My reason of thinking about this was for between round engine swaps. I was thinking off having a carb / engine lift plate already bolted to my spare engine. I figure it might save a few minutes in an engine swap taking place at the racetrack I didn't have to unbolt carb adapters on the broken engine nor on the spare engine. And yes, I have swapped between rounds once- broke an engine in the first time trial at one of the 'small' races during million $$ bracket races so there were hours of time available to get the swap done.




You seem to have your mind made up so as long as you sleep well at night do it. What's the worst that can happen.


You could do what happened to me.. my engine lift gave way and the
engine and trans came down on the front of the car.. the cyl on the
lift bent due to the load.. now I have a bigger unit
