[Shotimes] buying an engine stand

[Leigh Smith]

VO;
Most have 4 arms to hold the engine at the bellhousing bolt positions.
However, the feet are another matter, some have three wheels/feet and some
have four. The three wheeled ones can tip over a little to easy. Seen that,
it's a mess. The four legged ones are much more stable.
The biggest problem I had was finding the proper length & pitch bolts to
hold the motor. Fat, long & metric. Not available locally. Had to go
on-line. McMaster-Carr I think. And it was still a little tricky to get all
4 arms positioned / bolted up.
I too have a used-once engine stand available should anyone want one. All
set-up for SHO's. Shipping ran about $35 so pick-up may be better. Marlton,
