Engine Stand Pulled the engine out of my AA yesterday. Wondering if anyone has any clever ideas for a way to adapt to my engine stand?

Re: Engine Stand 3 Attachment(s)
dont have diagram but here arecouple pictures to show my adaptor. Do not advise hanging engine on this type of stand with the flywheel attached ken

Re: Engine Stand 2 Attachment(s)
Just finished up my engine adapter today. I’ll let you know if I find the motor on the floor in the morning lol

Re: Engine Stand I went ahead and pulled manifold so I could lay it on that side and pulled flywheel. Then hoisted it back up and took of flywheel housing. Then was no problem bolting to stand on flywheel end. Working on disassembly and assessment. Got down to the last three head studs before breaking one. Looks like pistons are 060 over and 2 & 3 have been sleeved.

Re: Engine Stand I have zero welding skills but I sure don’t see that that attachment is worth the better part of a $100 bill! What am I missing?

Re: Engine Stand 1 Attachment(s)
Not a real good picture of the engine but I assembled mine without the flywheel and housing. I was skeptical of attaching it to the side with the adapters that are sold.

Re: Engine Stand I'd be more concerned about the three wheeled engine stand. I had one fall on me and nearly did a lot of damage to my leg. Only 4 wheeled versions now. Jack

Re: Engine Stand I have the same engine stand as pictured. It is a cheap one from Harbor Freight. I was able to use 3 of the 4 arms that came with the stand by bushing down the eyelets to fit the bolts going into the rear of the block where the flywheel housing bolts on. It is a tight fit but it works. Buy 3 bolts and 3 bushings and you can use what you have....
|
Re: Engine Stand I bolted to top two housing bolt holes directly through plate and used 2 of the arms in lower holes.
|
Re: Engine Stand I would get rid of that three wheel engine stand ASAP. It's just a disaster waiting to happen. I just bought a nice four wheel one from Harbor Freight. Works a charm!!

https://i.imgur.com/CZwUoro.jpg?1 you need two,a side mount and a flywheel housing mount..you can use a conventional one for the fly housing..I used the water inlet boss and the pan rail for the side mount |
Re: Engine Stand I made mine similar to the one pictured by Mr. Shaft only on mine I attach the lower bolts to the top of the pan rail, this allows easy pan installation while on the stand. Don't worry about hanging the engine by the side, Ford did it that way. It also allows flywheel and clutch installation.
