Carburetor studs

Anyone ever have an issue with pulling a 460 and c6 transmission using a carburetor plate with the cherry picker? My studs don't look very beefy and I'm concerned it won't hold the weight.

It'll surprise you what four 5/16 studs will hold up.
Which is stronger, four 5/16 studs on the intake or two 3/8 bolts, one on each end of the engine, when pulling the engine and trans probably 80% of the weight is on the one back bolt.
