I'm really jealous of this guy's equipment, skill, and scrap pile.

Most awesome DIY engine stand ever
- Thread starter JoshH
- Start date
Makes me want to get a lathe and mill bought for my home shop. the possibilites are only limited by your own imagination and creativness.
Way cool... I'm still working on my stand but it uses a slack adjuster off of a Semi truck brake to turn the engine/transmission over. I mount the allisons up by pto covers. Just need to build a new adapter to bolt to the engine mount.
Strength of the build is probably enough to mount the entire Model A on & rotate it. LOL
I don't see much structural need for the two extra 2x2 tubes on the base where he stuck the bread pan though unless he plans to put something considerably more robust than bolts in the bread pan.

It is nice real nice and HD but think about it .
He must be bored as if he isn't building motors for a living how often is he going to roll that Caddy out? He builds his BBC for his Rat Rod then push it over in the corner and it collects dust!
Or maybe he builds GREAT engine stands and shitty motors so he'll be using it often! :roflmao:
Just saying
