If you are removing or replacing the engine in your Mustang, a Mustang engine lift plate and engine cradle can make your life much easier. These tools are sized by engine family rather than Mustang year, Pushrod/Godzilla cradles and lift plates fit small block Ford and 7.3L Godzilla applications, while Modular/Coyote versions fit 4.6L, 5.0L Coyote, and related engines across 1996-2025. Confirm your engine family, not just your Mustang's model year, before ordering.
A Mustang Engine Cradle is a tool that allows you to store an engine off the ground and off of your engine stand. We have all had to store or move an engine on a tire or some blocks of wood, taking the risk of it falling over and getting damaged. These engine cradles are a great investment to keep your engine stored safely while freeing up some much-needed shop space and tools.
A Mustang Engine Lift Plate is a tool that allows you to easily remove or install an engine into a car, onto your engine stand, or onto your engine cradle. These lift plates have been designed to specifically fit your Ford engine for a direct bolt-on install. Gone are the days of having to find an extra bolt to tie onto and risk dropping your engine. Purchase a Mustang lift plate and make moving your engine much easier.
Which cradle or lift plate fits your engine? These tools split by engine family, not Mustang model year. Pushrod/Godzilla versions fit small block Ford (5.0L/5.8L) and 7.3L Godzilla engines, while Modular/Coyote versions fit 4.6L and 5.0L Coyote engines across 1996-2025. Match your tool to your engine family rather than your car's year.
