One of the biggest time drains during a custom swap is repeatedly installing and removing the engine to check clearances. A G Force Swap Block™ duplicates the engine's mounting points and external dimensions using lightweight precision steel construction, allowing you to verify:
Unlike foam mock-up blocks, steel Swap Blocks can be welded around, reused for future projects, and accurately support accessories during mock-up. Best for: Custom engine swaps, chassis fabrication and one-off builds.

Balancing an engine on chains can make installation more difficult than it needs to be. Engine Lift Plates provide a secure lifting point that improves balance and control while installing or removing an engine. Applications include LS, LT, Hemi, Godzilla, Coyote, Duramax, and universal lifting solutions. For many swaps, it's one of the simplest upgrades you can make to reduce installation time and improve safety.
Universal engine stands don't always work well with today's engines. G Force Engine Stand Adapters securely mount modern engines to conventional engine stands while improving access during assembly and teardown.
Complete engine stands are also available for builders who want stable support throughout the entire build process. Whether you're rebuilding a long block or storing a project between work sessions, the right stand makes every job easier.
