engine stand
« on: February 20, 2010, 09:25:32 AM »
check this photo out.

can anyone tell me whether this is just 2 arms off the stand and if 2 arms is enough to support a small block chev? i can see its been modifyed so you can keep the flywheel on while on the stand..

cheers ben

They have 4 arms. I'll get you a better photo later if you want it. Mine can support engines with the flywheel on too.

yeh i have a couple of engine stands and they both have 4 arms but i need to modify them so the flywheel can stay on as well..

if i just get some thick tube i guess i could just use them as spacers hey..

I wouldn't bother going to the trouble of replacing the tubes. Just make some spacers with some thick plate.

if your going to do the engine ahd bellhousing make sure you extend the legs for stability, other wise it will go over
make it reliable, or smash it with a big hammer
