ZSM L-Series Engine Hoist SST (Special Service Tool)

Anyone who has wrestled an L-Series engine in or out of a chassis knows the struggle — the awkward angle, the guesswork, the risk of damaging what you’ve worked so hard to build. The ZSM L-Series Engine Hoist SST eliminates all of that. Designed in CAD and laser-cut from mild steel, this Special Service Tool bolts directly to the cylinder head intake and exhaust studs, giving you a solid, purpose-built lift point every time.

The bracket is pre-bent to match the OEM engine tilt angle, so your L-Series hangs perfectly level during installation and removal — no improvising, no fighting the hoist, no scratched valve covers. Just clean, controlled engine pulls the way it should be done.
