Cheap engine stand

[Bigboy Busa2]

Bought the stand at harbor freight. Under $50. Wanted stand for new motor and improvised on one I seen for$100. Yes it's an old 3/8 extension I had beat on and it worked perfect. Nylon strip at bottom to cusion the case. I used the plate that came with it as you see and the size was perfect. Just took motor off stand so I painted

Sorry. Didnt mention that. Did that myself with some metal laying around. Really should have grinded those sharp corners. But its just rustoleum spray paint.

something like that is only useful for working on the head or block or possibly for dismantling the oil pan on motorcycle engines.

but if the gearbox/transm. is the goal of a work, the only thing - 4 head down - that helps is a stand analogous to the one I'm showing here (for head up).

a bit of angle and flat steel, a few thicker screws and a welder and the stand is done.
