yes it started to bend when I attempted to jack up my car from the center. Remember I am using a 650lbs Iron V8 It only bent a little tiny bit because I was paying close attention. But it def will not support the weight of my vehicle. I want to switch to -120lbs aluminum block but the current engine won't quit. Its hard to remove a good engine. |

https://ls1tech.com/forums/conversio...ce-inside.html I was just being cheap student and used the iron engine to save money since it was my first LS I figured I would learn on a free test engine. But I guess between the iron block and the 4l80e its just a bit too much up there. I am def looking to plate the engine to the chassis using a stiff damper and reinforcing the core support and control arms and frame rails, and tunnel regardless of weight however because once I put some real tires I don't want the chassis to twist, I'm not sure how much it takes but I don't want to find out |

Personally i only use the tow hitch points as a starting point to lift the car a bit with a 2nd jack since the car is so low and then jack the car up using proper locations
