Default Lifting the Essex V6

I just want to know from those who have lifted/handled these engines before, will i be ok using a lift plate attached to the 4 carbi bolts?
Im lifting only the block and auxillaries, no gearbox, clutch, flywheel etc.
I was planning on welding up a basic lift plate out of some leftover metal I had in the pile.

I am only nervous about it because the intake manifold is alloy while the block is quite heavy. Any thoughts appreciated!
