I can see what would happen to my primo next engine build. Aluminum Intake, ok the Bar thing has won.
I personally hate those leveling bars, If I need to tilt the engine a little.....I use a ratchet strap around the engine crane boom.

I've installed Iron headed Big Blocks with lift plates & yes they had aluminum intakes.....I really don't see the issue?

Now that I think about it....I've installed several TBI big blocks using a lift plate & they only use 3 bolts instead of 4.

To each his own....If you don't feel comfortable, Do whatever you feel safe with!!!
