sling it under the air-gap intake with a seat belt, whoa..wrecking yard moment there. The levelers are nice until you run out of jack and your motor is still 6 inches under the rad support, Doh!

I went with a carb plate, and that worked fine for me. I think I picked up one for pretty cheap off of Amazon.

Leveler for me too. Doing it by myself and it just made it easier.

Thanks again. One more thing... what's the deal with aluminum threads? As of now a carb plate seems like the way to go, only im using a borrowed, and from what ive heard, somewhat rare intake, and don't want to risk messing up the intake threads if thats a legitimate issue.

Tighten it down nice and snug! You'll be fine.

5/16 carb studs have a breaking strength of 3900 lbs and that is grade 2. They have a working load of 270 lbs (X4 on a motor plate) so you are good.
"...3/4 6061 AL plate using a 5/16-18 grade 8 bolt threaded 5/8" into plate had a pull out force ~15000lbs..." Pull Out Force Calculation in Aluminum - Metal and Metallurgy engineering - Eng-Tips
So why are there so many carb stud stripped intakes?
