I've got one of those too, it gets the job done. This thing looks neat though and would let you get some more height out of your lift I think.

Load Leveling Lift Plate
Hi guys,
I had the same reservations about four carb studs on an aluminum manifold lifting a BBC over my Camaro. So when I designed this plate, I had two of them destroyed to find out whether my fears were warranted. Long story short, the plate failed around 8000 lbs on both an iron and alum manifold. The alloy steel carb studs could be unscrewed by hand after the test. I thought for sure the studs would pull out of the aluminum first but the myth was busted. You can see my test results in the tech section of the Kaizen Motorsports website. Take care guys.
