I lifted my 454 and 4l80e trans together with four bolts (7/16" ??) run into the accessory holes.

I've used them on a small block/tranny combo, but never a BB...Don't get yourself hurt!

Nope, it came from Northern Tool. It's their cheapie model that I bought for the shop away from home. It was on sale and the leveler was a freebie.
