Engine Stand

[JamsD]

I am about to remove the engine so I can tidy up the bay and fit new heat shielding. Whilst it out I think I'll tidy up the engine as well. What stand do you guys recommend.

Cheers

i know theres only one block under the sump as the brackets are not bolted on but you get the idea.

I like that and I also like the working height. I have some steel lying around so I'll give that a go.
Thanks

Used one of these recently, much easier to work on the engine.

Machine Mart stands are great value and happily cope with RV8's and aluminium chevy engines. They don't like iron v8's though.

Borrowed this when I had my engine rebuilt. Bolts to the engine mount bits.
