Bob:
Just be advised of the need to get the mount as close as
possible to the center of gravity. The first time you try to turn the
motor over in the engine stand to get at the other side, you will 300+
lbs looking for home in a big hurry. Can throw you to the floor (or
worse) if you are not prepared.
The scheme shown will be very stout, I would advise NOT putting
the flywheel on in an attempt to keep the whole thing balanced.

Subject: [6pack] Lateral Engine Stand Mount
One of the List guys found this picture on someone's web site (he can't
remember who) and it uses the engine mount bolt holes for the engine
stand.
Very cool idea but does anyone see a down side to this? The picture is
at
the bottom of http://tr6.danielsonfamily.org/EngineStand.htm
Thanks
