Anyone ever use an engine stand like this?

These work really well for car engines.
Anyone use one for a busa engine?
If so what did the mount look like?

For VW's yes but not for a bike engine.

There are millions of them out there being used everyday.
I have used one several times and they work well.
Allows you to rotate the engine in a circle around the center pivot.

I use them for all my Engines, 454, 350, 305, 302, 1600cc(VW motor)... It works good for them all but have not yet tried a bike motor on it. But I would say it probably wont work becuse It will need four spots to bolt up to. But again I have not taken an inline 4cylindar from a bike out yet....

got one in garage with a V8 on it as I type this. As far as a Busa motor??

Yeah I looked at how to hold the Busa motor, and if some kind of mount could be bolted to the motor, then to the stand, that would be perfect.
I have 3 pics of some other stands (some I got here I think).
(Apologies for re-post or plagiarism if so.)
These look OK, and look like they could be modified to fit the stand I am asking about.
I have no need yet, but when I do, (soon needs transmission work I think), I will make one myself and post it here.
I thought if anyone else had done it already....

There is a guy who builds a mount to put a busa engine on a car stand. I've got a picture somewhere.

That would be great!
Love to see it!

Excellent, that is exactly an example of what we need.
Did you make it yourself, or someone else?
