x2.

I would think the center pivot would be easier for wiggling and tilting. But it can be done with a diagonal chain.

I figure ill be doing this with various projects so a lift plate for ease of use is a good investment. Found one at autozone for $13, says universal application

Should I assume that this should work with my factory intake that had a 2 barrel on it?
Dont want to drive to go get it if it wont, heres a picture

I've never used one on a 2 bbl, but they do work well with cast iron intakes. Still, I prefer to use grade 8 bolts in the heads (diagonal) because I usually have aluminum intakes and dont trust the threads.

This one claims to work on a 2 bbl and looks like nearly the same bolt holes. You could always drill your autozone plate out, as well.

Yeah , it looks almost identical .im guessing the closest holes are for a 2 barrel. Good point, ill make sure to go the other route on motors with an aluminum intake in place

Haha maybe I should pickup a creeper while im at the auto part store. Lmao , my 1950's wood snap on one with the swivel wheels is killing me!!
