An engine tilting device for use in installing and removing engines from vehicles has a base plate provided with a plurality of apertures formed in a predetermined pattern to match bolt hole patterns of a variety of standard intake manifolds. The base plate is secured on an engine intake manifold after removal of the carburetor. In a first embodiment of the invention, a lifting tab is mounted by a lead screw mechanism for reciprocal linear movement with respect to the base plate. In a second embodiment of the invention, the lifting tab is mounted for independent reciprocal linear movement in two perpendicular directions by independent lead screw mechanisms. The lifting tab may be oriented as required to allow tilting of the engine during installation and removal.
