Message: [QUOTE="me2, post: 330634, member: 3825"] I started on the engine mount for the engine stand. I'm building this mount so that the engine can be mounted from the side, so it more stable and so that I have access to the flywheel to work on the adapter plate and flexplate. [ATTACH=full]86203[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]86204[/ATTACH] The extra pieces are the wheel mounting plates that go on the engine hoist. One of the new wheels is visible in the upper right hand corner. [ATTACH=full]86205[/ATTACH] This is what it will look like when its done. [ATTACH=full]86206[/ATTACH] The engine stand and engine stand mount just need a couple hours of welding to be ready to use. The reason for changing the wheels on the engine hoist were that a) it will roll better, especially when there is debris on the floor, b) with the mounts the engine hoist legs fit under the engine stand so that I don't have to take it apart to pickup or drop off the engine and c) with the new mounts it increases the stance of the engine hoist a bit. About 16" in the back and 6 inches longer and 4 inches wider in the front. As you can probably tell, I'm kind of paranoid and fed up with using engine hoists that don't roll well and constantly want to tip over. [/QUOTE]
