Re: Fleathead Engine Stands
Hello. Pete, I'm in need of a engine stand and saw pics of yours, very nice. Did you build it and if so would you share prints ? I can sketch it from the pics but the welder would need dimensions. Thanks Mike

Re: Fleathead Engine Stands
Does anyone have an idea of the weight of a 49-53 block? I know the whole engine is 569 lbs but wondering what just the block is.

Re: Fleathead Engine Stands
Just bought an adapter from Stumpy last week and now my 59 AB flathead is mounted and happy. Some thing about it being mounted by the bell housing just kind of bothered me.

Re: Fleathead Engine Stands
If you've got more than one engine, you need more than one engine stand

Re: Fleathead Engine Stands
That first pic is the style I like most, gonna have to make me one some time soon. I like the way the engine is supported giving you access to everything, including the exhaust ports on both sides for porting if you want. And you can really lean on them to strip an engine, without any fear of it tipping over.

Edit: This is most likely not an issue with the 49-53 blocks, I was referring to the per 49 blocks. However, Ford and most of the shops still used the side mounted style. Last edited by JSeery; 05-15-2014 at 10:43 AM. Reason: Added 49-53 comment. |

Re: Fleathead Engine Stands
Checked our local Craigslist for any K. R. Wilson listings in hopes of finding an engine stand base for a friend. Low and behold a Manzel stand with base and a #4005 mounting plate was listed. Yup, it followed me home. Looks like I need the #6005 mounting plate for my flathead. Quick, everyone check your local Craigslists.

Re: Fleathead Engine Stands
I spend a lot of time porting the exhaust ports, these stands don't work well for that.

Re: Fleathead Engine Stands
I don't bother with engine stands anymore. Got a stout wood stand roughly 2' X 2' on a mover's dolly and do my porting with the block setting on end. I find it more convenient to see into the ports and easier to work on them while I'm sitting comfortably in my tall old office chair. Do my flow bench testing set up the same way. Last assembly I did on end as well, once the crank was in. Some old photos of the Ford factory show assembly on end.
