Wavey wavey to you all,

I have to move my spare Speed6 engine and this means fitting it to a 'stand'.

I'm thinking this one will be fine;

Does anyone used this type / one? Which end connects to the engine? How?

Thank you.

I use this type often (my AJP8 is on mine at present).
Four wheel versions are also available and may be more stable.
The four arms (visible better in pic 2) are adjustable and bolt on to the block in the same way as the gearbox.
You may need to buy longer bolts, top tip...buy a length of studding and some nuts of the appropriate size and you can make your own long 'bolts'.

I had one when working on my Capri's and the 2.8 cologne engine.

Great for working on it - providing you get it balanced perfectly. Get it wrong and the engine spins to the heavy end really quickly!
